Business Briefs for OECD
MNE Guidelines

OECD Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises (MNEs)

As part of the package of the OECD Declaration on International Investment, the official and clear aim of the OECD Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises (MNE Guidelines) is to improve the climate of foreign direct investment, sustainable economic growth, and to promote the positive contributions that multinational enterprises can bring through investment at local and international levels.

The "Guidelines Business Briefs", one-page publication created by the BIAC Secretariat, provide you with information on the key aspects of the procedure and on the most pressing policy issues affected by the updated Guidelines. The Briefs also serve as a tool for influencing the evolving consensus on how to deal with complaints against companies under the Guidelines, bringing a clear business position to a debate heretofore monopolised by trade unions and NGOs.
