The paper is part of a series of alignment assessments carried out by the OECD to evaluate the extent to which sustainability initiatives are aligned with the recommendations of relevant OECD due diligence guidance and associated governance criteria, consistent with priorities identified in the 2023 OECD RBC Ministerial Declaration on Promoting and Enabling Responsible Business Conduct in the Global Economy.
