The Guidance intends to help enterprises observe existing standards for responsible business conduct (RBC) along agricultural supply chains, including the OECD Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises. It aims to prevent risks of adverse environmental, social and human rights impacts, providing a potentially useful complement to the work of the National Contact Points (NCPs) which are tasked with furthering the effectiveness of the OECD Guidelines. It can help governments, particularly NCPs, in their efforts to promote the OECD Guidelines and in clarifying existing standards in the agricultural sector.
The Guidance refers to existing standards to help enterprises observe them and undertake risk-based due diligence. It only refers to the parts of the OECD Guidelines and other standards that are most relevant to agricultural supply chains and does not aim to substitute them.
Providing guidance to enterprises involved in agricultural supply chains on how to observe existing RBC standards is essential to prevent adverse impacts and ensure that agricultural investments benefit enterprises, governments and communities and contribute to sustainable development, and in particular poverty reduction, food security and gender equality
