2023 Corporate Human Rights Benchmark

This 2023 iteration of the Corporate Human Rights Benchmark ranks 110 of the world’s largest apparel and extractives companies on their corporate human rights performance. This is our fifth time benchmarking these two sectors. Companies were assessed against our revised methodology, which was published in 2021.

Compared to our previous assessments of apparel and extractives companies, this year’s benchmark devotes more attention their actual performance in ensuring that human rights are respected within their four walls and supply chains, rather than merely the commitments they have made. It now also looks at whether companies are engaging with stakeholders at various stages of their operations, their business models, strategies and risks, and whether or not they prohibit recruitment fees, which is a form of forced labour.
