What do the standards say?
What do the standards say?
- Respect Human Rights. Businesses should develop policies, carry out due diligence, and remedy adverse impacts of their operations to ensure they respect the human rights of LGBTI people. They should also establish mechanisms to monitor and communicate about their compliance with human rights standards.
- Eliminate discrimination. Businesses should ensure that there is no discrimination in their recruitment, employment, working conditions, benefits, respect for privacy or treatment of harassment.
- Provide support. Businesses should create a positive and affirmative environment so that LGBTI employees can work with dignity and without stigma.
- Prevent other human rights violations. Businesses should not discriminate against LGBTI suppliers, distributors or customers and should use their position to prevent discrimination and related abuses by their business partners.
- Act in the public sphere. Businesses are encouraged to help end human rights abuses in the countries where they operate. In doing so, they should consult with local communities to define what steps to take, including public advocacy, collective action, social dialogue, support for LGBTI organisations, and opposition to abusive government actions.

Supreme Court judgment on the Campelo wind farm: does it clear the path for wind energy in Galicia?
Supreme Court Judgment no. 316/2025 marks a turning point in the intense litigation surrounding wind energy projects in Galicia. While confirming its doctrine on the public consultation procedure, the Supreme Court clarifies that the fact that several wind farms share evacuation infrastructure does not, in and of itself, establish the existence of a single project for environmental purposes, contrary to what was previously held by the Galician High Court of Justice.

A first ranking mortgage does not prevent a creditor from accelerating loan maturity due to debtor insolvency
If the creditor has a secured claim (even if the debt is covered by the "value of the security", i.e. the claim is in the money), the debtor cannot avoid the effects of the to-term forfeiture by appealing to the existence of that security because the guarantee referred to in Article 1129(1) of the Civil Code (avoiding to-term forfeiture) must then be another additional guarantee.

La existencia de una hipoteca de primer rango no impide que el acreedor pueda declarar el vencimiento anticipado del plazo por insolvencia sobrevenida del deudor
Si el acreedor goza de una garantía real para la seguridad de su crédito (incluso si la deuda está cubierta por el «valor de la garantía», es decir, que el crédito está in the money), el deudor no puede evitar los efectos de la pérdida del plazo apelando a la existencia de aquella garantía real porque la garantía a que se refiere el artículo 1129.1.º del Código Civil (evitadora de la pérdida del plazo) deberá ser entonces otra garantía suplementaria.
