This publication is a result of joint efforts between the OECD Infrastructure and Public Procurement Division (IPP) within the Public Governance Directorate and the OECD Centre for Responsible Business Conduct (RBC) within the Directorate for Financial and Enterprise Affairs, under the direction and oversight of Elsa Pilichowski and Greg Medcraft.
It has been prepared jointly by Erika Bozzay, Tessa Cullen, Lena Diesing, Pauline Göthberg, Shivani Kannabhiran, and Gabriela Villa Aguayo, under the supervision of Edwin Lau, Paulo Magina, Mathilde Mesnard and Cristina Tebar Less.
Many OECD colleagues supported the preparation of the report in its planning, survey and review stages, including Froukje Boele, Matthieu Cahen, Kenza Khachani, Marian Lemke and Tatyana Teplova.
Pamela Duffin, Roxana Glavanov, Juliet Lawal, Elisabetta Pilati, Lauren Thwaites and Andrea Uhrhammer provided editorial and communications support.
Pauline Alexandrov, Aleksandra Bogusz and Lauren Thwaites provided administrative assistance.
The report would not have been possible without the openness of policy makers and Central Purchasing Bodies that responded to the OECD survey. Additionally, numerous experts from business, trade unions, civil society organisations, experts, academia and others shared their perspectives and inputs to the report.
