In the transition towards a non-polluting, resource efficient industry, greater consideration of value chains shows potential to deliver greater overall environmental benefit than less integrated approaches that focus on individual stages, such as installation or sectoral emissions. Actions taken at the design and manufacturing, or other product life phases, can influence environmental impacts at other stages such as material processing, and waste recycling. The overall life-cycle impacts need to be accounted for at the outset. This report assesses how value chain approaches are/should be incorporated in BAT determinations and related environmental regulatory and policy concepts to accelerate progress toward identifying practices that more effectively consider an industry’s entire value chain to reduce overall environmental impacts as well as individual manufacturing sites within a given sector. This is the fifth in a series of reports developed as part of the OECD’s BAT project.

The development of this Monitoring and Evaluation Framework (M&E Framework) is premised on the OECD’s terms of reference on measuring the results of the implementation of the OECD Due Diligence Guidance for Responsible Mineral Supply Chains from Conflict-Affected and High-Risk Areas, which had involved extensive prior stakeholder input over a period of 18 months.
The Regulation 2019/452 of the European Parliament and of the Council establishing a framework for the screening of foreign direct investments into the Union (the EU Regulation) became fully applicable on 11 October 2020. It contains legally binding rules that engage national authorities from EU Member States (Member States) and the European Commission (the EU Commission) in cooperation on screening of foreign direct investment into the Union. This report summarises the findings of analytical work undertaken by the OECD, which consisted of desk research and interviews with many actors involved in or concerned by investment screening, including Member States’ authorities, the EU Commission, and other stakeholders. The study was carried out between October 2021 and June 2022 and reflects information as of 30 June 2022
This resource note addresses some of the key challenges that NCPs have faced or are likely to face in their handling of specific instances that involve the rights of indigenous peoples. It examines what is understood by the term “indigenous peoples”, the relationship between the OECD Guidelines and indigenous peoples, explores relevant NCP cases and the key topics that arise from the cases. The note then puts forward practical considerations to help NCPs better manage cases involving the rights of indigenous peoples.
El desarrollo de este Marco de Seguimiento y Evaluación (M&E Framework) se basa en los términos de referencia de la OCDE sobre la medición de los resultados de la aplicación de la Guía de Debida Diligencia de la OCDE para Cadenas de Suministro Responsables de Minerales procedentes de Zonas de Conflicto y Alto Riesgo, que había implicado una amplia aportación previa de las partes interesadas durante un período de 18 meses.
The OECD Due Diligence Guidance for Responsible Supply Chains in the Garment and Footwear Sector helps enterprises implement the due diligence recommendations contained in the OECD Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises along the garment and footwear supply chain in order to avoid and address the potential negative impacts of their activities and supply chains. It supports the aims of the OECD Guidelines to ensure that the operations of enterprises in the garment and footwear sector are in harmony with government policies to strengthen the basis of mutual confidence between enterprises and the societies in which they operate. This Guidance will also support enterprises to implement the due diligence recommendations contained in the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights. The Guidance is aligned with the International Labour Organization’s (ILO) Declaration on Fundamental Principles and Rights at Work, relevant ILO Conventions and Recommendations and the ILO Tripartite Declaration of Principles Concerning Multinational Enterprises and Social Policy. Together with its modules on due diligence for specific risk areas, this Guidance provides enterprises with a complete package to operate and source responsibly in the garment and footwear sector.
Les travaux d’élaboration du présent Cadre de suivi et évaluation (le Cadre de S&E) ont pris comme base de référence le cahier des charges de l’OCDE établi aux fins de la mesure des résultats de la mise en œuvre du Guide OCDE sur le devoir de diligence pour des chaînes d’approvisionnement responsables en minerais provenant de zones de conflit ou à haut risque, lequel a été arrêté au terme d’un vaste processus de dialogue avec les parties prenantes mené durant 18 mois.
