Question to the Department for Business and Trade:

To ask His Majesty's Government how the responsible business conduct review will reflect the interconnection between human rights, labour rights and environmental harms as aspects of responsible business conduct, and address impacts across the full value chain, both domestically and internationally.

This is precisely what the review is looking at. Human rights, labour rights and environmental harms are inherently interconnected. The responsible business conduct review is considering the effectiveness of the UK’s current regime and alternative measures to support responsible business practices across UK and global value chains.

The review is focused on a range of issues related to responsible business conduct, including human rights, labour rights and environmental harms. Recognising the interconnections between these harms is a core principle of the review.
