Promoting Responsible Supply Chains in Asia
Investing in People, Planet and Prosperity
The Responsible Supply Chains in Asia programme, implemented together with the International Labour Organisation and the European Union, aims to help companies and governments across global supply chains and take action to create an enabling environment and respect for human and labour rights.
The 3-year programme (2018-2020) is carried out in partnership with Japan, an OECD member and the only country under the Programme that has adhered to the OECD Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises and has set up a National Contact Point for RBC, and five partner economies, namely China (OECD Key Partner), Thailand, Viet Nam, Philippines, and Myanmar.
