Responsible Supply Chains in Asia

The Responsible Supply Chains in Asia project, conducted by the ILO and the OECD, aims to contribute to an enhanced respect for human rights, labour and environmental standards by businesses engaged in supply chains in Asia, in line with international instruments. The overarching objective is to promote smart, sustainable and inclusive growth by ensuring that investors and businesses have a better understanding and practical examples of responsible behaviour. It is also to create policy environments conducive to promoting responsible conduct and increased opportunities for dialogue on challenges and opportunities. This regional Action will be implemented in six Asian countries, namely China, Japan, Myanmar, the Philippines, Thailand and Vietnam. To ensure high impact and appropriate focus, the project will focus on 1-2 key target sectors in each of the six countries.
