OECD Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises on Responsible Business Conduct

The OECD Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises on Responsible Business Conduct, known as the Guidelines, are the most comprehensive government-backed international instrument for promoting responsible business conduct (RBC). They provide non-binding principles and standards for responsible business conduct in a global context consistent with applicable laws and internationally recognised standards.

The Guidelines cover all major areas of business responsibility or ethics, including:

• due diligence in the supply chain
• disclosure
• human rights
• employment and industrial relations
• environment
• combating bribery and other forms of corruption
• consumer interests
• science, technology and innovation
• competition
• taxation

A copy of the Guidelines, including implementation procedures and associated commentary, is available in a range of languages.
