Promoting Responsible Business Conduct in Latin America and the Caribbean
The Responsible business conduct in Latin America and the Caribbean project, implemented together with the International Labour Organization (ILO), the United Nations Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR), aims to promote smart, sustainable and inclusive growth in the region by supporting responsible business conduct practices in line with international instruments. It is the first time these three organisations join forces with the support of the European Union to promote responsible business conduct within the framework of a joint regional project.
The project is carried out in partnership with Chile and Mexico, both OECD members, as well as Argentina, Brazil, Colombia, Costa Rica and Peru, which have all adhered to the OECD Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises and have set up a National Contact Point for RBC, and two partner economies, namely Ecuador and Panama.
