Amnesty Business Group Amnesty Business Group (ABG) is the Swedish section of Amnesty International. They seek to influence and educate Swedish companies to take their responsibility towards respect, defend and promote human rights. Companies that want to work to promote human rights can become members of Amnesty International Business Forum where you can get access to information, training, experience sharing and dialogues. ABG may for example contribute with knowledge about the application of human rights and human rights issues in various countries. Examples of Swedish fashion companies that are members of ABG is H & M, KappAhl and Lindex. Each year, Amnesty International Business Group conducts a rating, Amnesty Business Survey, of how likely it is that various Swedish companies, by their actions, may violate human rights. It is also a tool for investors and analysts to estimate the risk of various companies. (see SRI) At the ABG's website, companies can take a test to examine the risks of that their companies may have been violating human rights. External links Amnesty Business Groups hemsida
