A/HRC/23/32 Compact to count as human rights reporting; one had introduced new requirements on reporting that specifically ask that human rights due diligence, as contained in the Guiding Principles, be demonstrated. 27. The national dissemination of laws or policies on business and human rights is a key challenge that States face in the implementation of the Guiding Principles. Eight States identified public dissemination as a major challenge, while seven lacked the resources to promote the policies effectively. Six States also reported a lack of willingness by business actors to comply. Six States reported that the State lacked the capacity to implement the policy. 28. In 10 cases, States reported coordination between their agencies in charge of human rights and those on trade and investment. In 14 cases, States reported the inclusion of human rights provisions (including on environmental and labour issues) in the agreements they had signed. Only five States included human rights provisions in their policies to promote foreign export and investment. This would suggest a missed opportunity by States to introduce greater coherence. 29. Broadly speaking, States can regulate respect for human rights for business in many ways. Some States reported existing legislation that captures these issues. Some, however, commission legal and regulatory gap analyses. States also attempt to identify priority areas to maximize their impact given the resource constraints and the nature of the business and human rights challenges companies domiciled in their territory face. 30. In the survey, States were asked to indicate, from a list of judicial and non-judicial tools, which mechanisms the State used to redress cases of business-related human rights impact and abuses within the country. Nine States responded that they used sanctions, while six others used some kind of compensation (financial or non-financial). Six States also reported using environmental rehabilitation, while five States confirmed that they used injunctions or guarantees of non-repetition to ensure prevention of harm. Six States also reported the use of public or private apologies. Only two States indicated they had turned to land restitution. B. Business survey 31. The pilot survey of business elicited more than 100 responses from a diverse group of business respondents in terms of industry, size, ownership and geographic location. The results of the survey suggest that companies are considering and actively working to address human rights with reference to international human rights standards and the Guiding Principles. The diversity of business respondents to the survey also point to a new, more global and diverse dialogue on business and human rights n the private sector. 32. The sample reflected rising awareness of and engagement with the Guiding Principles in the business community. According to the survey, efforts are being put into human rights policy commitments; identifying, assessing and addressing adverse human rights impact; communicating with a range of stakeholders; and supporting or providing for access to remedies. These results indicate a strengthening in the trend identified by the Special Representative of the Secretary-General on the issue of human rights and transnational corporations and other business enterprises 20 in the data gathered in his survey of Fortune Global 500 companies, which had already shown that a significant number of global firms had human rights policies and practices in place. 20 See A/HRC/4/35/Add.3. 9
