Human Rights in Development and Business BIM Annual Report 2008 Telekom/Belarus – Data protection as an integral part of the Telekom Austria Group’s Corporate Social Responsibility strategy Summary The Austrian telecommunications company Telekom Austria Group (Telekom) approached the BIM at the beginning of last year, seeking human rights consultancy in the context of the investments taken and its subsidiary Velcom in Belarus. In the course of several meetings in October and November 2008 the particular relevance of human rights for the Telekom and the options for the integration of the latter into the company’s Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) strategy were discussed. Finally, data protection was identified as the primary concern of the Telekom and BIM was entrusted to carry out a three-step consulting project in 2009. The framework of consultancy will be defined by a demand-and-problem analysis in the initial project phase. This includes the clarification of the situation in Belarus as to data protection and the responsibility of Velcom/Telekom concerning compliance with the legal provisions and standards on data protection, both at the international and the European level. For in-depth research on the legal and factual conditions a fact finding mission to Minsk will be carried out. Based thereon, the next step will aim at the elaboration of a concept on the necessity, options and potential risks of developing a substantial CSR approach in the field of data protection for the company. Stage 3 envisages the development of a catalogue of recommendations, including preventative measures as well as suggestions for the steps to be taken in case of an infringement of data protection provisions/human rights (“action and communication line“), and the relevant actors of Velcom/Telekom will be involved for these purposes.

BIM Annual Report 2008 Human Rights in Development and Business Responsibility for Labour Rights in Global Production Networks Summary This research project seeks to analyse the impact of the changes in the global economy on the human rights responsibility of states and companies, particularly in the area of labour rights. To achieve this, three concepts will be linked: the global production network approach which uncovers the complex relations of economic and other key actors in production networks; the human rights framework, and relevant (self-) regulatory regimes broadly covered under the term of “corporate social responsibility“. The combination of these concepts allows us to map the relations of key actors in global production networks, including relations of power and responsibility. This theoretical analysis will be enriched by empirical findings in the apparel and electronics sector in Central and Eastern Europe, particularly in Romania.
