  • TUAC Submission to the WP on Responsible Business Conductpdf

As regards the current work programme of the Working Party on Responsible Business Conduct, TUAC strongly supports the Work Plan to Improve NCP Performance and Promote Functional Equivalence. The plan provides an excellent basis on which to work to help NCPs fulfill their potential.

TUAC continues to have reservations over the proliferation of proactive agenda projects. There is a real risk that this effort diverts political momentum and resources away from the central task of strengthening the NCPs.

The TUAC submission is structured as follows:
  • Section 2: 2015 Global Forum on Responsible Business Conduct; 
  • Section 3: Work-plan to Improve NCP Performance and Promote Functional Equivalence;
  • Section 4: UN Guiding Principles on Business Human Rights National Action Plans and Discussion of link to NCPs;
  • Section 5: Regional Capacity Building Workshops for NCPs: Planned workshops for MENA and Latin America;
  • Section 6: Progress Report on Proactive Agenda Projects; 
  • Section 7: Revision of the RBC Chapter of the Policy Framework for Investment;
  • Section 8: Review of the OECD Principles of Corporate Governance;     
  • Section 9: Outreach Activities;
  • Section 10: Official Translations of the Guidelines;
