Responsible business
The OECD is a leading international standard-setter on responsible business conduct.
Through our engagement with the OECD’s Working Party on Responsible Business Conduct, TUAC has contributed to achieving, and continues to press for, decent work and enforcement of workers’ rights and more effective mechanisms for dealing with issues related to labour and environmental standards.
TUAC’s work on responsible business is led by Andrea Fromm. For more information, please contact fromm@tuac.org
