To meet the responsibility to respect businesses must a) institute a human rights policy commitment to meet the responsibility to respect human rights; b) undertake ongoing human rights due diligence to identify, prevent, mitigate and account for their human rights impacts and c) have processes in place to enable remediation for any adverse human rights impacts they cause or contribute to. Human rights due diligence (HRDD) refers to the process of identifying and addressing the human rights impacts of a business and includes a) assessments of impacts, including through engagement with groups potentially affected by its operations, b) integration of findings of human rights due diligence processes into policies and procedures, c) verification that this objective is achieved by monitoring and evaluating efforts, and d) communication how human rights impacts are addressed.

UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights Pillar 2
The Corporate Responsibility to Respect Human Rights. The UNGPs outline the process through which businesses can identify their negative human rights impacts and demonstrate that their policies and procedures are adequate to address them. To meet the responsibility to respect businesses must a) institute a human rights policy commitment to meet the responsibility to respect human rights; b) undertake ongoing human rights due diligence to identify, prevent, mitigate and account for their human rights impacts and c) have processes in place to enable remediation for any adverse human rights impacts they cause or contribute to. Human rights due diligence (HRDD) refers to the process of identifying and addressing the human rights impacts of a business and includes a) assessments of impacts, including through engagement with groups potentially affected by its operations, b) integration of findings of human rights due diligence processes into policies and procedures, c) verification that this objective is achieved by monitoring and evaluating efforts, and d) communication how human rights impacts are addressed.

Transfers and other changes to tenure rights and duties
12. Investments |
12.4
Responsible investments should do no harm, safeguard against dispossession of legitimate tenure right holders and environmental damage, and should respect human rights. Such investments should be made working in partnership with relevant levels of government and local holders of tenure rights to land, fisheries and forests, respecting their legitimate tenure rights. They should strive to further contribute to policy objectives, such as poverty eradication; food security and sustainable use of land, fisheries and forests; support local communities; contribute to rural development; promote and secure local food production systems; enhance social and economic sustainable development; create employment; diversify livelihoods; provide benefits to the country and its people, including the poor and most vulnerable; and comply with national laws and international core labour standards as well as, when applicable, obligations related to standards of the International Labour Organization
