  • human rights due diligence as risk management social risk versus human rights risk
    Business and Human Rights Journal, 2017
    Co-Authors: Bja Rn Fasterling
    Abstract:

    The UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights endorse a risk management perspective of human rights due diligence, which may create ambiguities with regard to the nature of risk and the objectives of risk management. By ‘human rights risk’ we understand a business enterprise’s potential adverse human rights impacts. Human rights risk can be contrasted to an enterprise’s ‘social risk’ which refers to the actual and potential leverage that people or groups of people with a negative perception of Corporate Activity have on the business enterprise’s value. This article puts forward the argument that due diligence in respect of human rights risk is conceptually incompatible with the management of social risk, because social risk management and human rights due diligence vary at each step of the risk management process (risk identification, risk measurement and assessment, risk reduction measures). To resolve this incompatibility, an effective integration of human rights due diligence processes into Corporate risk management systems would require an elevation of human rights respect to a Corporate goal that determines Corporate strategy.

  • Corporate Activity and environmental regulation: The environmental regulation "REACH" and European manufacturers of plasticizer
    PICMET 2010 TECHNOLOGY MANAGEMENT FOR GLOBAL ECONOMIC GROWTH, 2010
    Co-Authors: Kenji Nagasato, Koji Tanabe
    Abstract:

    The movement to integrate the industry policy into the environmental regulation has been observed in EU today. Now the practice of environment management is one of the most important Activity for enterprises, and some enterprises attempt the differentiation from other companies by their own activities for considering the regulatory control. In the environmental regulation “REACH” in Europe, new concepts "New approach" and "Precautionary principle" are introduced, and the method in which enacting regulatory controls by interacting with industrial associations and consumers is adopted. In this paper, it is analyzed that the Corporate Activity of a European multinational company would have influenced the decision of prohibited chemicals under "REACH".
