A briefing for civil society organisations on the strongest elements for use in advocacy

The Guidance elaborates on the due diligence responsibilities of companies under the OECD Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises (OECD Guidelines). It is intended to be used in all sectors of the economy and by all companies, regardless of size, geographical location or value chain position.
