Promoting Responsible Supply Chains in Thailand

About the project

The OECD has worked with key Asian partners for a number of years to promote responsible investment and RBC. Under this programme, implemented together with the International Labour Organisation and the European Union, the OECD contributed its extensive expertise on trade and investment and on risk-based RBC due diligence to support in-country policy developments and action to create an enabling environment for Responsible Business Conduct (RBC), to boost industry capacity and to raise awareness of the importance of RBC.

The programme was undertaken over 4 years (2018-2022) in partnership with Japan and five other partner economies, namely China, Thailand, Viet Nam, the Philippines, and Myanmar.

Responsible supply chains in Thailand

The OECD and Thailand signed an enhanced co-operation programme in May 2018, drawing on Thailand’s 12th National Economic and Social Development Plan (2017-2021) and OECD member country priorities. These include four areas: on governance and transparency, business climate and competitiveness (including responsible business conduct), “Thailand 4.0” and inclusive growth. Co-operation on RBC will take place in the context of the development by Thailand of its National Action Plan on Business and Human Rights. Activities will also include supporting RBC in the agriculture and vehicle parts sectors.
