CCC Reference Guide on Code Implementation & Verification
Section 5. Code-Related Activities in a Global Context
UN Guidelines on Transnational Corporations
In recent years, a number of international and intergovernmental guidelines
have been developed that aim to influence the conduct of multinational
enterprises in the field of human rights, labour rights, the environment
and other CSR aspects. These include, the OECD Guidelines for Multinational
Enterprises (described above), the UN Global Compact and the UN human
rights norms for Multinational Enterprises. These guidelines are in principle
voluntary. However, despite their non-binding character, there are several
mechanisms already in place to handle violations of international rules
of behaviour such as the OECD Guidelines.
