On Responsible Business Conduct:
With its Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises (OECD MNE Guidelines), the OECD hosts the only multilaterally agreed instrument promoting responsible business conduct that adhering governments have committed to promoting globally. The Guidelines, cover all major areas of business ethics and are supported by a unique implementation mechanism of National Contact Points. They are further supported with practical guidance on the due diligence expectations established in the Guidelines. Moreover, to promote responsible business practices on a global level, the OECD is actively reaching out to governments, businesses, and civil society through its annual Global Forum on Responsible Business Conduct as well as dedicated regional programs.
The Committee contributes to the work of the following OECD bodies:
