The National Action Plan on Business and Human Rights is a tool to meet the new needs of interaction between human rights and the economic dimension, as prescribed by the UN "Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights." An approach that has found new life with the launch of the United Nations 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and to which Italy is committed to making its contribution.
In 2016 Italy was among the first Countries to adopt the National Action Plan on Business and Human Rights for the period 2016-2021.
This public consultation promotes the active participation of trade associations and trade unions, civil society organizations, various experts in the sector and all citizens in the drafting of the second Plan for the years 2021-2026.
