The paper focuses on: • exploring the relevance of the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights, the authoritative global standard on the responsibility of business to respect human rights; • current and leading practices among public and private financial institutions in implementing these expectations; and • opportunities to harness the UN Guiding Principles and related efforts to support the goals of the Commission.
