Self-assessment tool for enterprises based on the Tripartite Declaration of Principles concerning multinational enterprises and social policy

Overview

The objective of this self-assessment tool for enterprises is to equip stakeholders with the knowledge and capacity to advance responsible business practices in line with the ILO Tripartite Declaration of Principles concerning Multinational Enterprises and Social Policy (MNE Declaration).

The MNE Declaration is the most comprehensive and global guidance tool on labour and employment policy. It is the only global instrument in this area that was negotiated and adopted by governments and representatives of employers’ and workers’ organizations from around the globe.

The tool has been developed by the ILO, together with the International Organisation of Employers (IOE) and allows enterprises to benchmark their corporate social policies and practices against the guidance provided in the MNE Declaration. It is structured around questions based on the recommendations in the MNE Declaration that are addressed specifically to enterprises. It follows the structure and the sections of the MNE Declaration. Besides, the Annex provides an overview of ILO tools and resources that can support businesses in their social policies and practices as well as information on relevant ILO instruments."

This tool is accessible online. Please visit the project website or contact us to find out how this support can benefit you.
