Encouraging the contribution of business in the environment.

The OECD Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises are recommendations to international business for conduct in such areas as labour, environment, consumer protection and the fight against corruption. The recommendations are made to business by the 38 adhering governments and, although they are not binding, governments are committed to promoting their observance. This book provides an account of the adhering governments’ activities to enhance the contribution of the Guidelines to the improved functioning of the global economy. It also provides an overview of how to encourage the positive contribution of business to the environment.
