Responsible business conduct is an important means for governments to build sustainable, inclusive and resilient economies. Effective policies that enable and incentivise responsible business conduct can help governments enhance competitiveness and align business activities with social and environmental goals. This requires alignment and coordination across different ministries and levels of government and close dialogue with businesses and stakeholders. The OECD provides analysis and support to assists policymakers in Latin America and the Caribbean in leveraging responsible business conduct across relevant policy areas, with a focus on trade and investment.

National Contact Points for Responsible Business Conduct are government agencies tasked with promoting responsible business conduct and providing access to remedy. The OECD works closely with the National Contact Points in Latin America and the Caribbean to help strengthen their effectiveness through capacity building and regional cooperation.
