Book excerpt: This action plan is the UK's national implementation plan for the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights (UNGPs). It embodies a commitment to protect human rights by helping UK companies understand and manage human rights. The UNGPs are structured around three pillars: the State duty to protect human rights; the corporate responsibility to respect human rights; and access to remedy. This action plan follows that structure and outlines how the Government has responded to the UNGPs and details plans for further work.
