CHRB-DIHR Statement on Synergies and Collaboration
6 September 2015
The Corporate Human Rights Benchmark, an initiative driven by Aviva Investors, Business & Human Rights Resource Centre, Calvert Investments, Eiris, IHRB and VBDO, to create the world's first wide-scale benchmark on corporate human rights performance, has jointly published with the Danish Institute for Human Rights (DIHR) a statement of synergies. The statement relates to the synergies between the CHRB and DIHR's Platform for Human Rights Indicators for Business.
The CHRB and the DIHR will work together in 2015 to review how the HRCA indicators relate to the benchmarking framework to measure company performance and alignment with international human rights standards. They will also collaborate more generally on raising awareness of approaches and initiatives to improve the measurement of business respect for human rights.
