Are we about to see a retreat from corporate responsibility?

The international architecture that underpins universal human rights is under attack. What does this mean for responsible business? Are we about to see a retreat from corporate responsibility?

IHRB’s Salil Tripathi, speaks to Kenneth Roth, author, attorney and the former head of international organisation, Human Rights Watch. Ken and Salil discuss progress in corporate responsibility and accountability in recent decades, and what this might mean for the future of business and human rights. 

They also explore the impact of consumer awareness and pressure on companies and governments to respect and protect rights, and the importance of collective action. 

Ken has recently published a new book, “Righting Wrongs: Three Decades on the Front Lines Battling Abusive Governments”.
