The MNE Declaration seeks to encourage the positive contribution that multinationals can make to economic and social progress and to minimize and resolve the difficulties arising from their operations. The principles in the MNE Declaration are voluntary in nature and encourage social dialogue. They intend to guide multinationals, governments, employers’ and workers’ organizations in adopting social policies and to inspire good practices to both multinationals and national enterprises. The declaration was negotiated between Workers’ and Employers’ Organizations and Governments in 1977, revised in 2000 to include the Fundamental Principles and Rights at Work, and more recently in 2006 to update references to other ILO instruments. As such it is the only truly international tripartite consensus on what would be a desirable behaviour of enterprises with regard to labour and social policy areas.
