June 12, 2007: Business & Human Rights Resource Centre has launched its re-designed website, making it easier for users to get straight to the information they need on companies’ human rights impacts worldwide: www.business-humanrights.org

The new design makes it easier to:

Search for a company and check its human rights record ““ over 3600 companies

Stay up-to-date with “News” and “Feature of the week” on our homepage

Check how companies are responding to concerns raised about their conduct

Access “Special resources”, including all materials by UN Special Representative John Ruggie; a running list of company human rights policies; ICJ panel on corporate complicity

The Resource Centre is an independent non-profit that encourages companies to respect human rights by bringing reports about their conduct ““ positive & negative ““ to a global audience.
