Assessing Transnational Corporations' Alignment with the United Nations Guiding Principles on Human Rights: Policy Commitments, Due Diligence Processes, and Grievance Mechanisms in Focus

Bachelor thesis | Politicologie (BSc)
This study provides an outlook on corporate alignment with the UNGPs regarding the implementation of human rights policy commitments, due diligence processes, and grievance mechanisms. This is done by introducing the current debate regarding the impact of soft law instruments such as the UNGPs. Further, a theoretical framework is established, providing a conceptualisation, methodology, and justification for the variables used in this study. Then, an extensive analysis is exposed, explaining the principles stipulated in the UN Framework, along with the Corporate Human Rights Benchmark (CHRB) criteria, and applying those to the case of INDITEX (Industria de Diseño Textil, S.A.). Finally, the conclusion answers the research question, by referencing the results and proposes new insights for future research.
