This measurement theme focuses on selected human rights related practices specific to each sector. The indicators seek to assess the actual practices occurring within companies in order to implement key enablers and business processes and to prevent specific impacts on human rights particularly at risk of occurring given the sector in question. 

Many of these interconnect with the other CHRB measurement themes and company approaches to policy commitments and governance, embedding respect for human rights in culture and management systems, undertaking human rights due diligence or implementing remediation processes. 

However, these indicators aid the inter- and intra-comparative benefits of the benchmark. Complemented by the CHRB performance indicators on responses to serious allegations (measurement theme E), these indicators seek to achieve a more comprehensive overall proxy measure for the human rights performance of a company being benchmarked.
