Businesses must respect human rights, labour rights and our environment — across whole supply chains, at home and abroad. I’ll be pressing the government on how its review will ensure that. #PeopleAndPlanet #ResponsibleBusiness
A protest scene with people gathered outdoors, one person holding a handmade sign showing the Earth and the words “There is no Planet B.” Overlaid text reads: “Responsible business must protect people and the planet.” Below it is a quote asking how the government will ensure its responsible business review addresses human rights, labour rights, and environmental harms across supply chains. A circular headshot of a woman with glasses appears alongside her title as a Green Party peer. The Green Party logo is at the bottom.

#ESG, #CSR & the #SDGs are all interrelated and highlight the role #responsiblebusiness plays in driving broader environmental & #socialimpact. CSR represents commitment & action, ESG represents measurement, & the SDGs as common global societal goals. #corporatesocialresponsibility #sharedvalue
ESG (Environmental, Social, Governance) measures how a company operates responsibly and manages risks and opportunities.

Environment: Climate change, resource use, pollution, biodiversity

Social: Labor practices, diversity, community impact, human rights

Governance: Board diversity, ethics, transparency, executive compensation

CSR (Corporate Social Responsibility) reflects a company’s commitment to make a positive impact on people and the planet.

People: Well-being, community engagement, philanthropy

Profit: Economic performance, long-term value creation

Planet: Environmental protection, resource conservation

The SDGs (Sustainable Development Goals) provide a global framework of goals to end poverty, protect the planet, and ensure prosperity for all.

17 Goals: Global blueprint adopted by the United Nations

247 Indicators: Measurable metrics to track progress

Together, ESG, CSR and the SDGs drive a sustainable future and create shared value for all stakeholders.

ESG & CSR: Specific Focus Areas

CSR & SDGs: Commitments

ESG & SDGs: Performance Metrics

CSR + ESG + SDGs = Sustainability: Creating Long-Term Value for Business and Society

Digital rights are everyone’s business — including yours. From surveillance to shutdowns, our human rights online are under attack every day. Learn more on our website: www.accessnow.org
Digital rights are everyone’s business — including yours!  
From mass surveillance that decimates our privacy to internet shutdowns that silence us, our human rights online are constantly under threat.
This is why safeguarding digital rights isn’t optional — it’s essential for justice, democracy, and dignity in the digital age.  First… what are digital rights?
Digital rights are the same human rights we all have — in digital spaces.
They protect how we can express ourselves, access information, and safeguard our privacy in the digital age.
They include:
Freedom of expression 
Privacy and data protection
Protest and online organizing
If you use the internet and participate in our increasingly digital world, these rights are YOUR business. Almost every aspect of our lives now depends on digital technology. Without digital rights, our basic freedoms collapse.
When governments shut down the internet, communities lose their voice.
When companies harvest our data, our privacy vanishes.
When algorithms decide what we see, democracy is distorted.

 Protecting digital rights means defending our ability to speak, connect, and participate freely in our societies.
