equal access to basic services and corporate responsibility to respect human rights

Promoting decent, fair and non-discriminatory working conditions, social protection and equal access to water, energy, health, etc. are cornerstones of the human rights-based approach in our programme and project work. With the larger role now played by the private sector in implementing the Sustainable Development Goals, promoting corporate responsibility to respect human rights and adherence to sustainable environmental and social standards are of special importance in private-sector development.
