Published purpose

To advance support for international standards and coordination in the extractive sector, this initiative aims to: (1) strengthen OECD Multinational Enterprise Guidelines’ National Contact Points (NCPs) in developing countries; (2) develop a Guide on Stakeholder Engagement in the extractive sector, which provides specific advice to governments, industry, communities and civil society on how to engage with one another and general processes for constructive dialogue; and (3) advance the ongoing efforts of the OECD Working Groups on Due Diligence in the Mining and Minerals Sector (gold, tin, tungsten and tantalum (3Ts)), the OECD Due Diligence Guidance for Responsible Supply Chains of Minerals from Conflict-Affected and High-Risk Areas, and support the multi-stakeholder Governance Group for the linked initiatives.
