​Supply chain transparency regarding human rights ​is becoming an increasingly important CSR issue. After ​consulting with more than 400 contributors, the Corporate Human Rights Benchmark (CHRB) has published its Pilot Methodology​. In November, it will make public its first round of benchmarking corporations on human rights performance​, starting with the top 100 companies from the agricultural products, apparel and​ extract​ive​ ​industries​.

KnowThe Chain, ​which in January published a pilot benchmark on slavery and forced labor​, will follow that with the ​June ​launch of a second human rights benchmark​.
