2021

The B-Tech Project is a flagship initiative designed by UN Human Rights, aiming to advance the uptake of the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights (UNGPs) in the tech industry. To create a rights-respecting level playing field, the project seeks to strengthen efforts by tech companies to apply the UNGPs and engages with states on their obligations in the sector. As part of ongoing consultations with key stakeholders, the initiative has published foundational papers drafted for leaders from across the tech sector, investor community, civil society, and governments seeking to understand the key features of the UNGPs.
