ILO collaboration with other intergovernmental and international organizations in promoting the principles of the Tripartite Declaration of Principles concerning Multinational Enterprises and Social Policy

This paper focuses on the Office’s work to promote sustainable enterprises and social policy through collaboration with international organizations which have instruments and initiatives regarding business behaviour linked to the principles of the Tripartite Declaration of Principles concerning Multinational Enterprises and Social Policy (MNE Declaration). It highlights developments since November 2011, and indicates opportunities and challenges related to the ILO’s current collaboration with those organizations. The Governing Body is invited to take note of the information in this paper and to provide guidance on how best to enhance the further use and recognition of the MNE Declaration, including by promoting overall coherence among international organizations in line with the principles of the MNE Declaration (see draft decision in paragraph 35).
