51 National Contact Points
The OECD Guidelines for Responsible Business Conduct are supported by a unique mechanism: National Contact Points (NCPs). The governments of all countries that adhere to the OECD Guidelines are obliged to establish an NCP. Their task is to promote the OECD Guidelines, handle complaints and cooperate internationally. 51 countries are adherents to the Guidelines. The composition of the NCPs varies from country to country.
The NCPs handle complaints concerning companies operating in or from their territories. The purpose is to find solutions between the parties through dialogue and mediation.
