The OECD is developing tools and resources to help boost the capacity of companies to carry out due diligence, to support governments and sustainability initiatives to align their standards with OECD guidance, and to conduct research to fill knowledge gaps.

A Due Diligence Checker guides practitioners from companies and sustainability initiatives through the six-step due diligence framework.  An e-learning course helps stakeholders deepen their knowledge on due diligence in the sector. Reports and publications offer practical insights on specific issues including  public procurement in the sector and due diligence challenges for small and medium-sized businesses.

OECD Alignment Assessments evaluate the alignment of an industry, government or multi-stakeholder initiative with the recommendations of OECD due diligence guidance, using the OECD’s alignment assessment tools and methodology.

The OECD is fostering dialogue among stakeholders to let all voices and perspectives be heard and work through challenges together.

The annual OECD Forum on Due Diligence in the Garment and Footwear Sector brings together representatives from government, businesses, trade unions, civil society, academia, and international organisations to discuss and find implementation challenges of due diligence.

The Policymaker Roundtable brings together governments from across the garment and footwear value chain to explore options and learnings for how they can provide an enabling policy environment.

The Manufacturers Network for Due Diligence in the Garment & Footwear Sector convenes a network of garment and footwear manufacturers, providing them with a space to share experiences, build a common understanding of due diligence topics and work collaboratively.
