This paper sets out reflections on OECD assessments of multi-stakeholder, government and industry initiatives (“sustainability initiatives”) against OECD responsible business conduct (RBC) due diligence standards since 2016 and its work with initiatives on implementation of OECD RBC instruments since 2011. This paper is part of the work the OECD carries out with respect to assessments to evaluate the extent to which sustainability initiatives are aligned with the recommendations of OECD due diligence guidance on RBC and associated credibility criteria, consistent with priorities identified in the 2023 OECD RBC Ministerial Declaration on Promoting and Enabling Responsible Business Conduct in the Global Economy.
