OECD Guidelines for Multinational Enterprise

This set of guidelines is based on an international agreement between OECD nations committing to encourage enterprises to observe a set of widely recognised principles and standards for responsible business conduct. The agreement outlines good practice and recommendations in the following areas:

1. Employment and Industrial relations
2. Environment
3. Corruption and Bribery
4. Consumer interests
5. Science and Technology
6. Competition
7. Taxation

Effectively, these guidelines stipulate fairly simple but fundamental recommendations and expectation of good practice to businesses. These recommendations are all central to a good corporate responsibility strategy.
