ICL’s CoCBR reflects the globally agreed minimum standard for responsible conduct concerning business impacts on human rights, including labor rights. Additionally, it reflects the standard agreed upon by OECD countries regarding business impacts on the environment and risks associated with economic sustainability, including corruption. You can find the standards here: https://www.ohchr.org/documents/publications/GuidingprinciplesBusinesshr_en.pdf,
http://mneguidelines.oecd.org/guidelines/
The standards cover the requirements for responsible business conduct reflected in our CoCBR on all three bottom lines: 1) Social, 2) Environmental, and 3) Economic sustainability. You can read more about the international requirements through UN publications and interpretive guides[1].
