29 Looking beyond the enterprise itself, various resources are available, many of them at no cost (see examples in annex II). In many situations, large enterprises or those with significant human rights risks, in particular, will find it invaluable to consult individuals who are representative of those stakeholder groups most likely to be affected by their operations. These representatives can bring important perspectives on how the enterprises could have an impact on human rights and the potential significance of that impact. They will also be able to advise how the wording of the draft policy commitment is likely to be viewed by these important stakeholders groups. Q 25. How does the public policy commitment relate to internal policies and procedures? The implications of the overarching policy commitment need to be understood internally and reflected in relevant internal policies and procedures. It is through them that the commitment is put into practice and can be embedded in the values of the enterprise. In a small enterprise with very limited human rights risks, it may be sufficient to provide a policy note to staff, highlighting the responsibility to respect human rights and key issues for their attention (for example, non-discrimination), what this means for staff practices and what accountability there will be (including the consequences for breaches). In a large enterprise, it will often be necessary to have additional internal human rights policies that elaborate the implications of the policy commitment. These might be particular to different departments, such as procurement, human resources, production, sales, etc. It will also be necessary to make sure that other policy areas and procedures are aligned with those related to human rights. If such alignment does not take place, it can be much more difficult for the enterprise to meet its responsibility to respect human rights when problems arise. For instance, if the buying division of a toy company makes decisions without regard to how they may impact the ability of suppliers to comply with labour rights standards, the enterprise risks contributing to adverse human rights impact. If a construction company rewards operational staff purely on their speed in building new infrastructure and without regard to whether they harm
