OECD Due Diligence Checker for the Garment and Footwear Sector
Due diligence is the process enterprises should carry out to identify, prevent, mitigate and account for how they address actual and potential adverse impacts in their own operations, their supply chain and other business relationships. The OECD Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises are recommendations addressed by governments to multinational enterprises that aim to encourage positive contributions of enterprises to economic, environmental and social progress, and to minimize their adverse impacts. Based on the OECD Guidelines, the OECD Due Diligence Guidance for Responsible Supply Chains in the Garment & Footwear Sector provides recommendations for enterprises on how to implement due diligence. To support enterprises even further in spotting the gaps in their business practices, the OECD Due Diligence Checker was developed.
The OECD Due Diligence Checker is a voluntary tool for businesses to self-check to what extend their business practices are aligned with the OECD Due Diligence Guidance for Responsible Supply Chains in the Garment & Footwear Sector.
