Corporate Human Rights Benchmark: Pilot Methodology 2016
The CHRB pilot methodology assessed the top 100 companies across the agricultural products, apparel and extractives industries on their human rights policies, processes and performance.
The 2018 Corporate Human Rights Benchmark assesses 101 of the largest publicly traded companies in the world on a set of human rights indicators. The companies from 3 industries – Agricultural Products, Apparel, and Extractives – were chosen for the first Benchmark on the basis of their size (market capitalisation) and revenues and assessed across 6 Measurement Themes which have different weightings. Even though average scores are low across the board, overall companies tend to perform more strongly on policy commitments and management systems than on remedy or dealing with key risks in practice.
