1. Legal basis and purposes of processing

In July 2017, the Belgian Government approved a National Action Plan on “Business and Human Rights” to implement the aforementioned principles.

By approving this plan, the Belgian authorities wish:

to encourage Belgian companies to respect and promote human rights, internally as well as within their sphere of influence;
to fulfil their responsibility fully by promoting and defending human rights and to align their legal and political framework accordingly.

This National Action Plan contains 32 actions/measures. One of these measures is the development of a toolbox on human rights for companies and organisations. The Federal Institute for Sustainable Development wants to use this toolkit to help organisations and companies respect and promote human rights within their specific organisational context.

The Federal Institute for Sustainable Development collects and processes personal information to:

The Federal Institute for Sustainable Development collects and processes this information anonymously:
