Championing
Human Rights
in Business
We empower enterprises, government and communities to uphold international human rights standards across Tanzania's business sector.
Three Pillars of Business & Human Rights
The UNGPs are the global standard endorsed in 2011 for preventing and addressing business-related human rights impacts.
State Duty to Protect
States must protect human rights through laws, policies and institutions across all sectors.
Corporate Responsibility to Respect
Businesses must avoid infringing human rights and address adverse impacts through due diligence.
Access to Remedy
States and businesses must ensure victims have access to effective remedies.
Why Business & Human Rights?
Many businesses see human rights as only a state responsibility, but integration into business practice is essential.
BHRT bridges the gap through training, advocacy, research and community empowerment.
