For the automotive sector the full CHRB methodology was applied. In light of the COVID-19 pandemic and associated impacts around the world, the other sectors were only assessed on a subset of the methodology in 2020, namely the core UNGP indicators.
The 199 agricultural product, apparel, extractive and ICT manufacturing companies in scope were assessed on 13 indicators, taken from three of the six methodology measurement themes. These 13 indicators focus on three key areas of the UNGPs: high-level commitments, human rights due diligence and access to remedy.
