This website is designed to help representatives of commodity trading firms to implement the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights (UNGPs) in their company systems and cultures. It also provides a tool for the sector as a whole in developing a shared practice of responsible trading consistent with international standards relevant for the respect of human rights - it should therefore also be useful to all those who are interested in promoting respect for human rights in the commodity trading sector, including industry associations, civil society organisations and governments.
The website offers analysis, illustrative examples, current practices, and suggested actions that are applicable for all companies in the sector, regardless of their area of activity or size. The content provided here is taken from The Commodity Trading Sector: Guidance on Implementing the UNGPs ("the Guidance"). More information on the Guidance and its background can be found in the About section.
