3.2
Non-state actors including business enterprises have a responsibility to respect human rights and legitimate tenure rights. Business enterprises should act with due diligence to avoid infringing on the human rights and
legitimate tenure rights of others. They should include appropriate risk management systems to prevent and address adverse impacts on human rights and legitimate tenure rights. Business enterprises should provide for
and cooperate in non-judicial mechanisms to provide remedy, including effective operational-level grievance mechanisms, where appropriate, where they have caused or contributed to adverse impacts on human rights and legitimate tenure rights. Business enterprises should identify and assess any actual or potential impacts on human rights and legitimate tenure rights in which they may be involved. States, in accordance with their international obligations, should provide access to effective judicial remedies for negative impacts on human rights and legitimate tenure rights by business enterprises. Where transnational corporations are involved, their home States have roles to play in assisting both those corporations and host States to ensure that businesses are not involved in abuse of human rights and legitimate tenure rights. States should take additional steps to protect against abuses of human rights and legitimate tenure rights by business enterprises that are owned or controlled by the State, or that receive substantial support and service from State agencies. |

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.
