OECD Risk Awareness Tool for Multinational Enterprises in Weak Governance Zones
About this tool
The OECD Risk Awareness Tool for Multinational Enterprises in Weak Governance Zones provides guidance for companies operating in environments where governments are unable or unwilling to carry out essential functions. It highlights the elevated risks of corruption, human rights abuses, and weak rule of law, offering businesses a structured set of reflection points to navigate these challenges responsibly. Rooted in the OECD Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises, the tool encourages firms to uphold international standards, strengthen internal governance, conduct thorough due diligence, and engage transparently with stakeholders. By addressing areas such as political engagement, business partnerships, compliance, and social responsibility, it helps companies anticipate dilemmas, avoid complicity in wrongdoing, and contribute positively to stability and development in fragile contexts.
