Our most important tool for monitoring industry abroad is the national contact point for OECD’s guidelines.

They have national contact points to deal with complaints on businesses that violate the guidelines…We in the contact point represent a unique mechanism. Our job is to assess complaints on breaches of the guidelines…People and the environment often lack sufficient protection. Anybody can submit a complaint to OECD’s contact point.
