The OECD is holding a Global Forum on Responsible Business Conduct. This marks 50 years of the OECD Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises on Responsible Business Conduct.
On 29 to 30 June 2026 (Paris) or 30 June to 1 July 2026 (Canberra), senior leaders will meet at the OECD in Paris to discuss the future of responsible business in a changing world. Some sessions will be livestreamed.
The forum will discuss topics including:
- How can we create a level playing field for responsible businesses?
- How can we avoid a race to the bottom in a global economy fragmented along geopolitical fault lines?
- How can we apply responsible business due diligence to build fairer, more resilient and more secure supply chains with people at the centre?
- What policy frameworks and incentives do we need for responsible leaders to succeed – and for others to change?
- Where should we focus efforts to ensure effective and inclusive international cooperation on responsible business conduct?
