Description | The National Plan was drafted on the basis of recommendations issued by the National Consultative Commission on Human Rights, and work conducted by the National Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) Platform. The plan focuses on the three Ruggie Principles: protect, respect, remedy. For each of its three pillars it presents the principles themselves, National Consultative Commission on Human Rights and National CSR Platform recommendations along with action already underway in France and proposals to strengthen their implementation. The supply chains aspect is reflected in the narrative part and the section on actions. For example, part I, section 3 on activities at the OECD level, the NAP describes the French NCP’s active contribution to the G7’s work on global supply chains in 2015, as well as France’s financing of activities in support of the implementation of the OECD Due Diligence Guidance for Responsible Supply Chains of Minerals from Conflict-Affected and High-Risk Areas. Part II focuses on business responsibility to respect human rights, introduction: the NAP indicates that given the complexity of business responsibility to respect human rights, companies must continue developing tools and best practice to ensure human respect along their value chains. |
