Objectives of the conference
Against this background, the Conference, organised by the OECD and ESCAP in close cooperation with
ILO, UN Global Compact and the GRI, will inter alia:
a) Discuss the respective roles of governments, business and other stakeholders in promoting
RBC/CSR in the OECD and Asian contexts;
b) Learn from concrete experiences how firms in OECD and Asian countries engage in RBC/CSR
activities and relate them to corporate governance, and discuss how the “business case” can be
reinforced. A special focus will be given to climate change and financial issues.
c) Discuss the supporting role of the leading international corporate responsibility initiatives in
promoting international responsible business and plans for updating the OECD Guidelines for
Multinational Enterprises in 2010.
