The 2019 Key Findings Report is supported by a technical annex which provides more detailed information about the 2019 assessment process. The Technical Annex to the 2019 CHRB is available in our News section.
Industry Scores
The companies from 4 industries - Agricultural Products, Apparel, Extractives and ICT Manufacturing - were selected on the basis of their size (market capitalisation) and on geographical balance. The charts below show the number of companies in each band per industry.
Banding Table
This table presents companies in bands according to their overall score. More than half of the almost 200 benchmarked companies score less than 20% and only 1 in 10 companies score more than 50%. Several companies lead the way and score above 70% and some of the companies previously benchmarked are demonstrating progress. However, the lack of improvement of many companies, and low scores for most of the companies benchmarked for the first time, highlights the need for urgent action.

2019 Methodology
The 2019 Methodology is a revised version of the CHRB Methodology which was initially published in 2016. It is the result of internal reflexions and extensive public consultations over several years and served as the basis of the 2019 assessment.
Measurement Theme Scores
Companies were assessed across 6 Measurement Themes which have different weightings. Average scores are low across the board. Overall, companies tend to perform marginally better on policy commitments and responses to serious allegations, even though scores remain particularly low on remedy. The fact that nearly half of the companies assessed score 0 across all indicators related to the process of human rights due diligence is particularly alarming.
Governance & Policy Commitments
- 2019 Highest Score :
- 9.4 / 10
- 2019 Average score :
- 2.6 / 10

- 2018 Average Score :
- 2.9 / 10
This Measurement Theme focuses on a company’s human rights related policy commitments and how they are governed. It includes two related sub-themes: Policy Commitments and Board Level Accountability.
Embedding Respect & Human Rights Due Diligence
- 2019 Highest score :
- 23.2 / 25
- 2019 Average score :
- 5.7 / 25

- 2018 Average score :
- 6.8 / 25
This Measurement Theme assesses the extent of a company’s systems and processes established to implement the company’s policy commitments in practice. It includes two related sub-themes: Embedding Respect and Human Rights Due Diligence.
Remedies & Grievance Mechanisms
- 2019 Highest score :
- 15.0 / 15
- 2019 Average score :
- 3.1 / 15

- 2018 Average score :
- 3.4 / 15
This Measurement Theme focuses on the extent to which a Company provides remedy in addressing actual adverse impacts on human rights. It covers a Company’s approach to providing or cooperating in remediation when human rights harms – actual human rights impacts – have occurred.
Performance: Company Human Rights Practices
- 2019 Highest score :
- 16.9 / 20
- 2019 Average score :
- 4.3 / 20

- 2018 Average score :
- 4.9 / 20
This Measurement Theme focuses on selected human rights related practices specific to each industry. The indicators seek to assess the actual practices occurring within companies to implement key enabling factors and business processes, and to prevent specific impacts on human rights.
Performance: Responses to Serious Allegations
- 2019 Total number of allegations :
- 149
- 2019 Companies with allegations :
- 72

- 2018 Companies with allegations :
- 48
This Measurement Theme focuses on responses to serious allegations of negative impacts a Company may be alleged or reported to be involved in by an external source. Indicators in this Measurement Theme seek to assess a Company’s response to an allegation that an impact has occurred, and do not seek to assess the allegation itself. For some companies, the CHRB did not identify allegations that met the severity threshold to be included in the assessment. For these companies, their Measurement Theme E score is a proxy score calculated from the average scores the company gets in other Measurement Themes.
Transparency
- 2019 Highest score :
- 8.6 / 10
- 2019 Average score :
- 3.2 / 10

- 2018 Average score :
- 3.2 / 10
This Measurement Theme seeks to recognise companies that disclose relevant information on human rights. It assesses the companies' willingness to disclose information, whether they use existing good practice reporting frameworks as well as the quality of their disclosures.
