On September 6 Ethical Corporation, the leading publisher of corporate responsibility journalism, will release an in-depth management-focused report on human rights and how they are managed by some large multi-national companies.

This in-depth, detailed management-focused report will look in depth at:

How 8 leading multinational companies began to understand what human rights meant for their business

The internal discussions they had around where their responsibilities began on human rights issues

Early stage planning of policy development and roll-out

Management system development and practical steps with charts outlining structures and systems

Human rights performance tracking, indicator use and results collection in these companies

Where 8 leading companies are going next on policy, and how their experiences so far have informed strategy

This report has been written with exclusive information from the companies themselves and many of the key stakeholder groups they have interacted with.

Over 4 months Ethical Corporation conducted individual face-to-face, email and telephone interviews with managers across each company.

This report contains those results and is the first such in-depth report published on the subject that is designed specifically for managers in multi-national companies.

The companies studied in the report are: BP, BT, Premier Oil, The Body Shop, Chiquita, ABB, Levi Strauss and Anglo American.

The report and a free sample chapter are available from September 6 2004.

The report costs 299 pounds for companies and 149 pounds for non-profits. VAT is applicable for UK buyers.
