OECD Due Diligence Guidance for Responsible Business Conduct

Abstract

The OECD Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises acknowledge and encourage the positive contributions that business can make to economic, environmental and social progress, and also recognise that business activities can result in adverse impacts related to workers, human rights, the environment, bribery, consumers and corporate governance. This Guidance helps businesses to understand and implement due diligence for responsible business conduct. It also seeks to promote a common understanding on responsible business conduct amongst governments and stakeholders.
