Toolbox for Business & Human Rights

On the 70th anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the Federal Institute for Sustainable Development (FIDO/IFDD) has launched the Toolbox Human Rights. This toolbox is a collaboration between experts from the University of Antwerp and IPIS with valuable contributions from Belgian stakeholders.

This toolbox bundles the most important human rights conventions and regulations into one comprehensive website. This website aims to help companies, organisations and their stakeholders to easily align their policies/practices in order to prevent the violation of human rights and promote respect for human rights in all their activities. The toolbox offers hands-on online tools to help companies comply with their human rights obligations. The website is easily accessible for everyone (AnySurfer label). The toolbox is available in English, French and Dutch.

This project is part of the National Action Plan ‘Business and Human Rights’ that was approved by the Belgian government in July 2017.
