The true intent and purpose of the Guidelines can only be realised through collaborative and multi-stakeholder action. Adhering governments engage with stakeholders in different ways in the implementation of the Guidelines. On a national level, many of these interactions are channeled through NCPs. On an international level, business, trade unions, civil and other partners regularly interact with the OECD.

 Business and Industry Advisory Committee to the OECD (BIAC) is an independent international business association devoted to advising government policy makers at the OECD.
Founded in 1962, BIAC promotes the interests of the OECD's business community by engaging, understanding and advising policy makers on a broad range of issues.
Through its 38 policy groups, which cover the major aspects of OECD work most relevant to business, BIAC members participate in meetings, global forums and consultations with OECD leadership, government delegates, committees and working groups. BIAC advocates consensus industry views so to ensure that the resulting policy instruments and guidance assist, not hinder, private sector capacity to generate growth and prosperity.  www.biac.org
