Security, Conflict, and Sustainability: Strengthening the GRI Sustainability Standards for Corporate Reporting on Conflict-Affected and High-Risk Areas

Managing and responding to human rights-related risks in conflict-affected and high-risk areas (CAHRAs) is challenging for many businesses. Yet, it is in these areas where the most egregious human rights abuses and violations of international humanitarian law (IHL) occur, and therefore must be a focus of attention for any business that wishes to operate sustainably and responsibly.
