Today, we join the global community in celebrating Human Rights Day, marking the anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights—a groundbreaking pledge that defines the inalienable rights of all individuals, regardless of their background. We recognize the profound importance of this day. Respect for human rights is at the heart of who we are and a cornerstone of our ESG goals. Each year, we strive to identify areas for improvement and reinforce our commitment to upholding these universal values across our operations and beyond. Together, we are building a future where dignity, equality, and respect are not just ideals but daily realities. #HumanRightsDay #ESG #RespectAndBelonging

As we celebrated Human Rights Day yesterday, we’re reminded that human dignity and equality are at the heart of sustainable business. Human rights aren’t just a moral obligation, they’re a cornerstone of resilient, responsible companies. When businesses prioritize fairness, inclusivity, and ethical practices, they don’t just comply; they lead. Let’s continue to build a future where sustainability and human rights go hand in hand, creating value for people and the planet. #21SGSAI #HumanRightsDay #Sustainability #ESG #Leadership #ImpactDriven

A co-author of leading UN-supported guidance on human rights reporting, Richard Karmel, shares his views on transformative social sustainability reporting and the challenges C-suites face in meeting them: https://lnkd.in/eaDPyNnk
