Private sector
CAFOD policy and research papers looking at the huge impact businesses have on the lives of people in the developing world.
[Eleanor Church]
Our private sector policy work asks companies to take action to ensure that their core business operations support and do not undermine sustainable development. We also call on governments to adopt and enforce balanced laws so that businesses are accountable to citizens.
Key areas of our private sector work include:
- Looking at the human rights responsibilities of businesses as part of the ongoing UN process
- Supporting workers' rights in global supply chains to reduce discrimination and allow them to negotiate better wages.
- Campaigning for transparency and accountability in extractive industry contracts and payments to governments.
- Examining the impact of mining in developing countries where our partner organisations work.
