The authors examine
how companies listed on the Ljubljana Stock Exchange’s Prime Market respect human rights in their 2018 annual reports.
Thus far, the researchers
have not paid particular attention to respect for human rights in the annual
reports of corporations registered and listed on the Prime Market of the
Ljubljana Stock Exchange. Therefore, the authors aim to fill this gap by
examining the situation and identifying opportunities for improvement. The
article is divided into five sections. The second part deals with methodological
issues. The third part presents
and discusses the business and human rights
in the 2018 annual reports of the nine corporations listed on the
Ljubljana Stock Exchange’s Prime Market, whereas the
fourth part analyses the strengths and weaknesses of their annual reports. An
examination of the annual reports is certainly only the first, but
indispensable, step in improving business and hu- man rights standards both in
annual reports and in practice.
