Promoting corporate accountability
and the human rights responsibilities of business
RAID advocates for binding corporate accountability frameworks,
particularly the development of international norms on the human rights
responsibilities of companies. A major focus of RAID's work involves
demanding corporate adherence to the international human rights
framework and other relevant corporate responsibility instruments,
including the OECD Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises.
The
OECD Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises are the only multilateral
corporate responsibility instrument that has been adopted by the 30
member countries of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and
Development (OECD) and several non-OECD members. Endorsing
governments have obligations to promote adherence by multinational
companies, including handling complaints brought against companies
alleged to be in violation.
