Description | The Due Diligence Guidance for Responsible Business Conduct is based on the recommendations contained in the OECD Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises. In relation to human rights impacts, including impacts on the human rights of workers, it seeks to align with the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights, the ILO Declaration on Fundamental Principles and Rights at Work, relevant ILO Conventions and Recommendations, and the ILO Tripartite Declaration of Principles concerning Multinational Enterprises and Social Policy. The guidance is not intended to reinterpret the guidelines but seeks to provide practical support to enterprises on their implementation by providing a plain language explanation of the due diligence recommendations and associated provisions in the guidelines. The guide can also serve as a reference for stakeholders to understand the measures businesses are recommended to take with regard to managing their impacts. It may be used by National Contact Points for the OECD Guidelines in order to promote the Guidelines. |
