58 This Principle does not propose that an enterprise should reveal publicly all the issues identified in its ongoing assessments of human rights impact or the steps it takes to mitigate every risk identified. It is first and foremost about being able to communicate its general approaches to addressing its human rights risks, and may include, in some instances, communication on its specific responses to a particular human rights impact. If the enterprise has significant human rights risks, the higher public interest dictates a need for more formal and regular public reporting to account for the systems the enterprise has in place to mitigate those risks and to address any harm that may occur. Q 56. What should an enterprise be able to communicate? The prior steps in the human rights due diligence process enable an enterprise to identify its actual and potential human rights impact, to act on the findings and to track how effectively it is responding. These processes and their results provide the body of information an enterprise needs to have available to it in order to communicate as and when appropriate. Some communications may focus on the enterprise’s general approaches to addressing human rights risks, in particular potential impact on those human rights that are most salient to its operations. For instance, a retail company should be able to communicate how it addresses potential or actual human rights abuses in its supply chain. Enterprises with high water use should be able to communicate how they address the related risks to human rights. Pharmaceutical companies should be able to communicate how they ensure that drug trials are conducted safely and with adequate information and consent. Some communications may be specific to an individual impact and how it is or will be addressed. For instance, a mine with a spill from a tailings pond should be able to communicate how it has addressed, or is addressing, the potential or actual human rights impact of that incident. If security forces that guard an oil and gas company’s installations attack local villagers, the enterprise should be able to communicate how it is addressing the resulting human rights abuses and the risk of their recurrence.
