National Guidelines on Responsible Business Conduct require boards to oversee ethics, human rights, environment, value chain and disclosure practices. The NGRBC set nine interdependent Principles requiring the highest governance body to oversee adoption, implementation and disclosure of policies and performance across ethics, sustainable products, employee well being, stakeholder responsiveness, human rights, environmental stewardship, responsible advocacy, inclusive growth, and consumer responsibility. They require embedding Core Elements into operations and value chains, recommend human rights due diligence and remediation, and provide a voluntary Business Responsibility Reporting Framework with Essential and Leadership indicators for self assessment and potential regulatory disclosure.
