The PRME Working Group on Business and Human Rights (PRME WGBHR) aims to complement the “Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights,” developed by Professor John Ruggie, and draw upon the synergies generated by the UN Global Compact (UNGC). The PRME WGBHR will fill an important gap in bringing the UNGC’s principles on human rights and Professor Ruggie’s work into management education and business thought leadership. The PRME WGBHR aims to generate multi-stakeholder collaboration on business and human rights issues among the PRME community, academia, business, civil society, and the United Nations.
The primary objective of the PRME WGBHR is to stimulate dialogue among business schools and the corporate community concerning human rights principles. Discussions about best practices will be regularly conducted in order to nurture the understanding and integration of human rights principles. Given that human rights principles and codified human rights conventions embrace a wide range of rights concerning labour, the PRME WGBHR will also address relevant labour issues associated with the concept of human rights. The PRME WGBHR also will explore training sessions that are focused on human rights topics of interest across academia and industry. Topics will be chosen based on discussions generated in roundtables and will address specific interests of the PRME community.
The working group aims to reach Deans and Associate Deans of business schools to engage them in curriculum change and research pertaining to human rights in a business context and related compliance and sustainability issues. Members will be identified for the PRME WBHR agenda in order to align management education with business practices and international policy-making. Specific components of the mandate of the PRME WGBHR will involve the following:
Co-Chair: Dorothée Baumann-Pauly at dorobaumann@gmail.com, Director, Geneva Center for Business and Human Rights ,Geneva School of Economics and Management Research Director, Center for Business and Human Rights, NYU Stern School of Business
Co-Chair: Michael Posner at mposner@stern.nyu.edu, Jerome Kohlberg Professor of Ethics & Finance, Director Center for Business and Human Rights, NYU Stern School of Business
