The national action plan aims to translate the UN Guiding Principles into practical action at national level. The plan responds to the European Commission’s request that Member States draw up national action plans. So far, the UK, the Netherlands, Denmark, Finland and Lithuania have developed national action plans.
Business enterprises appear to have a greater awareness of their responsibility to respect human rights and of the role this plays in creating value and building business competi- tiveness. The Government’s ambition is to assist enterprises in their efforts in this area.
A clear Swedish profile in this area can contribute to strengthening Sweden as a brand. The Guiding Principles are also fundamental to the corporate governance of state-owned enterprises.
The action plan is also an important part of the Government’s heightened ambitions for foreign trade, through the export strategy, CSR and other areas. It is an equally important part of the Government’s relaunch of its Policy for Global Development and its efforts to contribute to the new global sustainable development goals (SDGs).
