Fit for Purpose? A Review of the UK National Contact Point (NCP) for the OECD Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises 2008
Rights & Accountability in Development (RAID) in association with The Corporate Responsibility (CORE) Coalition and The Trades Union Congress (TUC)
In 2005, MPs challenged the government to resolve inadequacies of the UK NCP: the government unit which is supposed to provide a degree of accountability for the environmental and human rights impacts of British companies operating abroad. This resulted in significant reforms to the NCP procedures. However, the findings in this new report indicate significant problems still remain and more needs to be done.
