The Government\u2019s Action Plan commitment to keep the provision of remedy under review reflects the importance we attach to this pillar of the UN Guiding Principles. We will continue to monitor the provision of both judicial and non-judicial mechanisms, including as part of our review of the Action Plan in 2015.<\/p>
The UN Guiding Principles are a voluntary framework, but we have been ready to back these up with specific measures, including regulatory measures, where necessary. Examples of this are the amendment to the Companies Act, introduced on 1 October 2013, which requires Listed Companies to report on their human rights impacts and which will be strengthened further in 2016, and the Modern Slavery Bill, which includes provisions for greater transparency in supply chains.<\/p>

The UK\u2019s National Action Plan reflects the Government\u2019s commitment to implementing the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights. We are committed to reviewing and issuing an updated Action Plan by the end of 2015. We will use a cross-Government approach, as we did when developing the Action Plan, to reflect the fact that business and human rights goes across a broad range of Government activities and responsibilities. We continue to report back each year on progress in our Annual Human Rights and Democracy Report of the Foreign and Commonwealth Office.<\/p>

We will use a cross-Government approach, as we did when developing the National Action Plan, to reflect the fact that business and human rights runs across a broad range of Government activities and responsibilities. A cross-Government Steering Group, led by the Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO) and the department for Business Innovation and Skills, and including around 10 other government departments, oversees delivery of the Action Plan. A detailed implementation plan sets out the action needed to deliver against each of the Action Plan commitments, and the departments responsible for taking this forward. This provides a mechanism for ensuring that all Whitehall departments understand their roles in delivering the Action Plan, and for monitoring progress and holding departments to account. We are committed to reporting on progress in the FCO\u2019s Annual Human Rights and Democracy Report. We are working with business and civil society to ensure that the Action Plan delivers real impacts and contributes to preventing human rights abuses by companies wherever they operate, or providing remedy when they occur. We will continue to consult and collaborate with key stakeholders in monitoring delivery of this plan and helping to refresh and update it in future."}
