Frankly Speaking - A Podcast on Responsible Business

#54 Michael H. Posner: Views From the U.S. on the Future of Business and Human Rights


Listen Later

Today, Frankly Speaking welcomes Professor Michael H. Posner, director of the Centre for Business and Human Rights at NYU Stern School of Business. He also served in the Obama administration as assistant secretary of State.

Throughout his career, Mike has played a key role in establishing some of the major global initiatives on responsible business, including the Voluntary Principles on Security and Human Rights, the Fair Labor Association, and the Global Network Initiative, and he continues to be one of the leading voices on business and human rights in the United States.

You’ll hear more about:

  • How too much about business and human rights is still process, not outcome or performance.
  • Why companies must not abrogate responsibility
  • A strong call for standards on due diligence for genuine accountability for businesses on their conduct
  • The difficult political situation in the United States at the moment and how to respond to the ESG backlash
  • Listen in and follow us on ⁠LinkedIn⁠ and ⁠⁠Twitter⁠⁠!
