OECD guidelines for multinational enterprises

The New Zealand government has committed to raising awareness about the OECD guidelines for Multinational Enterprises.

The OECD's guidelines are joint recommendations of the governments of the OECD countries on issues such as human rights, information, employment, environment protection, combating corruption, consumer protection and competition. The guidelines reflect sound practice for all companies.
