Engaging multinational enterprises on more and better jobs

The ILO approach to responsible global business - Sustainable Enterprises

When formulating corporate social policies, companies tend to look for guidance to global instruments based on international standards and universally accepted principles.
On labour issues, ILO’s core labour standards and the ILO Tripartite Declaration of Principles concerning Multinational Enterprises and Social Policy (ILO MNE Declaration) are widely accepted as the most authoritative reference point for both public and private social responsibility initiatives. The ILO MNE Declaration provides the most comprehensive global guidance available for governments and enterprises on social policy.
