The Institute for Human Rights and Business (IHRB) and Caux Round Table-Japan (CRT-J) have both produced articles in this edition of the Business and Human Rights Journal on mega-sporting events (MSEs) and human rights. One looks at the macro-picture, while the other focuses on efforts in Japan ahead of the Tokyo 2020 Olympics. Our organizations have partnered for a number of years, and in 2015 and 2016 we produced joint submissions on human rights to the Tokyo Organising Committee for the Olympic and Paralympic Games as this body seeks to develop its policies and processes around sustainability, responsible sourcing and human rights.
