OECD Watch is a global civil society network with more than 140 members in over 50 countries. Membership consists of a diverse range of non-governmental organisations (NGOs) as well as grassroots and community groups that share a common vision of the need for corporate accountability for negative impacts on people and the planet. The network is formally recognised as the representative of civil society to the OECD committee that promotes the OECD Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises on Responsible Business Conduct (Guidelines).
