The 15th UN Forum on Business and Human Rights 2026

The 15th United Nations Forum on Business and Human Rights is the world’s largest annual international gathering dedicated to business and human rights. It brings together governments, businesses, civil society organisations, trade unions, international organisations, Indigenous Peoples, affected communities and academic institutions to discuss the implementation of the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights (UNGPs).

The 2026 theme is “UNGPs at 15: Building on Gains, Confronting Gaps, Reimagining the Future”, marking 15 years since the endorsement of the UN Guiding Principles. The programme addresses corporate accountability, human rights due diligence, labour rights, responsible business conduct, supply chains and the role of business in protecting human rights.
