A set of tools designed to help companies, their employees, and contractors implement the Voluntary Principles on Security and Human Rights. The Implementation Guidance Tools are the result. They are non-prescriptive and provides a range of different tools on which companies may draw, according to their individual needs and circumstances. While VPs participants have been closely involved in the development of the tools, they have not been formally approved by them, since it is designed as guidance and is the result of co-operation between several organizations. While it has been designed with the extractives sector in mind, companies in other sectors may also find them a useful guide when operating in difficult environments. The tools serve as a helpful reference guide to any company seeking to ensure that its operations are undertaken in a manner that ensures respect for human rights and fundamental freedoms.
