Multinational Enterprises (MULTI)
The programme receives direct guidance from ILO constituents through decisions taken in the MNE Segment of the Policy Development section of the ILO's Governing Body, previously the Subcommittee on Multinational Enterprises.
The programme aims to increase awareness of the MNE Declaration as a useful tool for companies, governments, and organizations of employers and workers; and to promote its effective use by facilitating a shared understanding of its principles.
Key means of action are:
- The ILO Helpdesk for Business on International Labour Standards the one-stop shop for company managers and workers on how to better align business operations with international labour standards and build good industrial relations. The Helpdesk provides basic information and specific guidance on implementing principles of the MNE Declaration and International Labour Standards at the work place.
- Capacity building and training activities with the International Training Center of the ILO (Turin Center).
- Research and technical cooperation projects on topic areas of the MNE Declaration, such as general policies, employment, training, conditions of work and life and industrial relations.
- Promotion of the MNE Declaration among governments, employers and workers and the business community through collaboration with international organizations, such as the UN Global Compact, the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), and others.
- Coordination across the ILO of activities related to Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR).
