Abstract

The Business Leaders Initiative on Human Rights (see www.blihr.org) was created in 2003 as a business-led initiative to help companies inte-grate human rights considerations in their practices. The idea for Business Leaders Initiative on Human Rights emerged as the result of a dialogue between Gordon Roddick (Co-Founder, The Body Shop International plc), John Morrison, and Kaj Embren (Partner and Co-Founder respectively of Respect Europe, an NGO). At the time, nothing like the objective and universal framework of the Business Leaders Initiative on Climate Change existed for business social responsibility, which was underlined at the 2002 World Summit on Sustainable Development in Johannesburg.
