Companies fail to ensure human rights and decent work
[]
Arthur Svensson International Prize for Trade Union Rights
The World Benchmarking Alliance (WBA) has today published its first Social Benchmark , assessing the world’s 2,000 most influential companies on their responsibility in meeting society’s fundamental expectations towards three measurement areas – respecting human rights, providing decent work, and acting ethically. There is a mismatch between what companies disclose on decent work and society’s expectation of them: over 60% of companies have some disclosure on decent wages and over 45% have some on working hours.
