Chapter 1. Activities of National Contact Points for the OECD Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises
The main role of the NCPs of governments adhering to the Guidelines is to further the instrumentās effectiveness by undertaking promotional activities, handling enquiries, and contributing to the resolution of issues arising from alleged non-observance of the Guidelines in specific instances. This chapter reviews NCP activities during the June 2013-June 2014 reporting period.
Main findings
The reporting period marks a number of milestones, in which promotional and peer learning activities increased by 25% from the previous period; dialogue on initiatives in the textiles and garments sector following the 2013 Rana Plaza tragedy in Bangladesh began to deliver concrete results; and an unprecedented number of specific instances involving NCP-facilitated mediation helped parties reach an agreement or create an action plan toward the resolution of the specific instance.

Accordingly, 27 NCPs either organised promotional events or participated in events organised by a stakeholder or other interested actor. With over 200 events, this reporting period saw a 25% increase in the number of events held relative to the last reporting period. Brazilās NCP and several Brazilian state-owned enterprises (SOEs) signed a Term of Commitment to better promote and uphold responsible business conduct on the Guidelines.
