The Human Rights Guidance Tool for the Financial Sector was launched in 2007 at UNEP FI Global Roundtable in Melbourne and updated in 2011, with the involvement of a number of stakeholders committed to the advancement of the business and human rights agenda. The tool was fully revised in 2014, and consultations with UNEP FI members and relevant stakeholders will continue for its further improvement.

The tool was made possible with support from Barclays.
