<p>The Government supports the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights
- the authoritative, voluntary international framework, which encourages businesses
to conduct due diligence as part of their approaches to protecting human rights. The
Government also drives transparency from our businesses to hold them to account on
human rights. UK listed companies cover relevant human rights issues as part of their
annual corporate reporting and our large businesses publish supply chain transparency
statements according to the Modern Slavery Act, including on due diligence approaches
where these are followed. In May, the Government published two policy papers which
provide an update on what the Government has done to implement the UN Guiding Principles
and to give an overview of how each government department contributes to this work.</p>
