June 12, 2007: Business & Human Rights Resource Centre has launched its re-designed website, making it easier for users to get straight to the information they need on companies’ human rights impacts worldwide: www.business-humanrights.org

The new design makes it easier to:

  • Search for a company and check its human rights record "“ over 3600 companies

  • Stay up-to-date with "News" and "Feature of the week" on our homepage

  • Check how companies are responding to concerns raised about their conduct

  • Explore our archive of news & reports from a wide range of sources on over 160 sectors; 180 countries; 160 issues

  • Access "Special resources", including all materials by UN Special Representative John Ruggie; a running list of company human rights policies; ICJ panel on corporate complicity

  • Sign up for free Weekly Updates

    The Resource Centre is an independent non-profit that encourages companies to respect human rights by bringing reports about their conduct "“ positive & negative "“ to a global audience.

    Recent developments:

    We now have 2 regional researchers in addition to our UK & US-based staff: Abiola Okpechi based in Africa, and Roddy Shaw Kwok-wah in East Asia. Funding permitting, we will add researchers in Latin America, South Asia, francophone Africa, Eastern Europe & Middle East.

    Our site now covers over 220 mainland Chinese companies. We regularly add English summaries of Chinese-language reports by Chinese NGOs, companies, journalists and government bodies.
