OECD Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises
Forty-five years ago, the OECD Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises (MNE Guidelines) introduced responsible business conduct (RBC) to position people, planet and society at the heart of business operations. The MNE Guidelines champion RBC across global economies. They are the only comprehensive international standard on RBC, covering all areas of business responsibility and backed by 50 adhering governments from all world regions accounting for 85% of foreign direct investment.
National Contact Points for Responsible Business Conduct
The National Contact Points for Responsible Business Conduct (NCPs) are agencies established by governments. Their mandate is twofold: to promote the OECD Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises, and related due diligence guidance, and to handle cases (referred to as “specific instances”) as a non-judicial grievance mechanism. To date, 49 governments have an NCP for RBC.
