Human rights in business practice

By Sonia Garza González, National President of the Mexican Association of Women Heads of Business (AMMJE), National Board Member of COPARMEX, COPARMEX NL and CAINTRA NL. Selected for the second consecutive year as one of the 100 Powerful Women in Business by Expansión magazine.

This collaboration arose from the invitation I received to participate in the Roundtable "Business and Human Rights in the Mexican State, current situation", within the framework of the International Forum Challenges and Opportunities: Corporate Responsibility and the Protection of Human Rights in Mexico, organized by the National Human Rights Commission, in conjunction with the Senate of the Republic.

Since this invitation arrived, I welcomed this important exercise, which seeks to promote a common commitment of all actors involved in economic-business activities, remembering that important leaders of this sector have assumed a leading role in achieving sustainable development goals, closely related to economic, social and cultural rights.
