Human Rights and Responsible Business Conduct Policy Working Group

“The IOE’s Policy Working Group on Responsible Business Conduct provides the space for IOE members and corporate partners to share information about policy developments, reflect on the most complex global challenges, and strategize jointly to advance the global human rights and RBC agenda. At a time of increased expectations of business and rapid evolvement of national legislation, it is more important than ever before that the business community coordinates and engages at the international policy level to ensure successful outcomes for all.”


Ms Ewa Staworzynska (USCIB), Chair
