In this episode we speak with Kayla Winarsky McKenzie of the Business for Social Responsbility (BSR). She is a recognised human rights expert and gives us some insights into her career journey and what issues made her specialise in this field. Kayla gives us an overview of the role of business in human rights due diligence and governance, and reveals the problems at hand, focus areas, guiding standards and steps to take to mitigate human rights violations. She also shares some materials from the WEF on boards and human rights (that BSR contributed to): Launch blog: https://www.weforum.org/agenda/2022/05/businesses-must-step-up-for-human-rights-at-this-time-of-global-crisis/ Guidance note: https://www3.weforum.org/docs/WEF_Guidance_Note_2022.pdf Report: https://www3.weforum.org/docs/WEF_How_Corporate_Boards_Can_Engage_Affected_Stakeholders_to_Secure_Human_Rights_2022.pdf
