This book argues that the most effective response is not procedural compliance but genuine business model transformation: embedding respect for human rights into the architecture of how companies operate, not as an add-on but as a way of doing business.Drawing on original field research across the extractive, agricultural, and apparel sectors, the book documents companies that have done exactly that - generating tangible, positive outcomes for workers and communities while sustaining commercial success. Each case is examined in depth, including its strengths, limitations, and the barriers encountered along the way.
