The OECD Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises on Responsible Business Conduct (OECD Guidelines) require all<\/span> governments<\/span><\/a> that follow (\u201cadhere to\u201d) the Guidelines to establish a National Contact Point (NCP) \u2013 a government-supported office whose core duty is to advance the effectiveness of the OECD Guidelines. NCPs do this in two ways: by promoting and raising awareness about the Guidelines\u2019 standards and the NCP grievance mechanism among businesses, civil society, and other stakeholders; and by handling complaints against companies who allegedly have failed to meet the Guidelines\u2019 standards.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

NCPs are also expected or encouraged to engage in other activities, such as promoting national laws and policies on responsible business conduct that align with the Guidelines, participating in the work of the OECD Investment Committee, and learning from peers.<\/span><\/p>\n

Requirements for NCPs<\/b><\/p>\n

The OECD Guidelines allow governments flexibility to structure their NCP in any way that fits their domestic situation. However, all NCPs must be \u201cfunctionally equivalent\u201d in their ability to accomplish their dual mandate. The OECD Guidelines require that NCPs operate in accordance with seven core effectiveness criteria. NCPs must operate in a manner that is: visible, accessible, transparent, accountable, impartial and equitable, predictable, and compatible with the Guidelines. Much of OECD Watch\u2019s advocacy focuses on urging NCPs to uphold these requirements.<\/span><\/p>\n

NCPs\u2019 duties as a grievance mechanism<\/b><\/p>\n

Each NCP is required to handle complaints of alleged corporate non-observance of the Guidelines. OECD Watch has developed guidance<\/a> on the NCP complaint process, including the stages of the process.<\/span><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
