A New Roadmap for Managing Human Rights in Businesses in Israel - Why It Matters Now, and What the Maala Document Proposes

Human rights management is no longer just a value-based commitment - it has become a strategic business necessity. In today’s regulatory and geopolitical environment, Israeli companies are increasingly required to demonstrate structured, professional, and transparent approaches to managing human rights risks.

A new guide published by Maala outlines a practical and applicable framework for companies operating in Israel. The document translates international standards such as the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights into actionable steps tailored to the local business context.

The guide covers policy development, human rights due diligence, risk mapping across operations and supply chains, governance structures, stakeholder engagement, and regulatory preparedness - particularly in light of evolving European requirements. It also provides sector-specific examples and measurable indicators to help organizations move from declarative commitments to operational implementation.

By offering a structured seven-step due diligence process and internal and external management tools, the document enables companies to strengthen trust, mitigate risk, and enhance long-term business resilience.
