| Summary | In June 2011, the US NCP received a request for review from an NGO and a trade union alleging that a French multinational enterprise was breaching the employment and industrial relations, and environment provisions of the Guidelines in the USA. The US NCP accepted the specific instance and was supported by the French NCP. However the trade union and the multinational enterprise reached agreement through a parallel proceeding under which the union would withdraw its request from the NCP. Separately, the NGO decided not to continue the specific instance process but did not wish to withdraw its filing. Given the union and NGO's positions, the US NCP concluded the specific instance. #nationallaw #directlylinked #riskmanagementsystem #remedy #duediligence #FACB #labourconditions #climatechange #pollutionandwastemanagement #naturalresources #degradation #parallelproceedings #localsubsidiary #agreement |
