Overview

The Human Rights Reporting and Assurance Frameworks Initiative (RAFI) is a multi-stakeholder initiative, established by experts on the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights and auditing partners.

The UN Guiding Principles Reporting Framework, devloped by RAFI, gives comprehensive guidance for companies to report on human rights issues in line with their responsibility to respect human rights. It comprises a concise set of self-assessment questions, with implementation guidance for companies that are reporting, and assurance guidance for internal auditors and external assurance providers.
