Around around a quarter companies, including Kraft Heinz, Macy's, Hermes and Prada have been named and shamed for "failing to engage" with the Corporate Human Rights Benchmark (CHRB), which accuses the companies of a lack of transparency and commitment in managing human rights risks and their effects. "We should all be concerned by the lack of engagement from 28 of companies, particularly as they are in priority sectors concerning serious human rights impacts," said Steve Waygood of CHRB. CHRB is backed by Aviva Investors, APG Asset Management and Nordea and supported by the British, Dutch and Swiss governments.
