align=\"left\"><span lang=\"EN-GB\">How will Norwegian enterprises make a comeback as competitive players in the international market when the coronavirus pandemic loosens its grip? They will have to be at the forefront of responsible business conduct. <\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Everyone is using the hashtag <strong>#Buildbackbetter.<\/strong> This slogan refers to the need for actions and changes that enhance the ability of businesses to withstand new crises. Moreover,<strong> #Buildbackbetter<\/strong> also entails a transition to a greener economy.<\/p>\n<p>To the OECD, <strong>#Buildbackbetter<\/strong> means that the post-pandemic economic recovery must comprise more than merely going back to \u2018business as usual\u2019. It requires investments and shifts in attitudes that can increase society\u2019s ability to withstand the ramifications of new crises. The measures need to ensure jobs and better living conditions and reduce inequality.<\/p>\n<p>The plans for such a revival must contribute to reducing greenhouse gas emissions and combat loss of biodiversity. They must also promote sustainable supply chains, including by increasing support for the circular economy.<\/p>\n<p>This requires a long-term perspective on the part of both the authorities and businesses.<\/p>\n<p>The pandemic has made the OECD Guidelines for Responsible Business Conduct even more important for business and industry. It is essential to base business activities on these guidelines to build back better after the pandemic, and Norway\u2019s National Contact Point is there to help.<\/p>\n<p>The year 2020 marked the twentieth anniversary of the National Contact Point system \u2013 the OECD Guidelines\u2019 unique grievance mechanism. The system has led to some extraordinary results. The ING case from the Dutch NCP is an important example (see page 40). The final statement highlights the expectation set out in the Guidelines that businesses set tangible goals to manage their impact on climate change, in accordance with the Paris Agreement. The international bank ING accepted this and now manages its loan portfolio in accordance with this goal. The case demonstrates that the NCPs can also play an important role when it comes to the climate.<\/p>\n<p>When the pandemic loosens its grip, Norwegian business and industry must be prepared to meet a market that places new demands on them. The requirements for responsible business conduct will, not least, become more formalised in hard law.<\/p>\n<p>The Norwegian Government is working on the Ethics Information Committee\u2019s proposal for a new act relating to transparency in the supply chain and the duty to acquire knowledge and perform due diligence \u2013 a proposal the NCP endorses.<\/p>\n<p>Several countries in our most important markets have implemented binding legislation requiring businesses to demonstrate responsible business conduct, respect human rights, worker\u2019s rights and trade union rights, and avoid causing harm to the environment.<\/p>\n<p>For Norwegian businesses, it is particularly important that the EU has come far in its legislative process. When the EU due diligence legislation is in place, it will apply to all businesses in what continues to be our most important market. The EU Sustainable Finance Taxonomy project is also an important driver in this respect. Under the classification system, measures are required to be in line with the EU\u2019s environmental targets, and businesses must comply with minimum requirements for social standards, such as the OECD Guidelines, the UN Guiding Principles and the ILO core conventions.<\/p>\n<p>To succeed in their business endeavours in international markets, Norwegian businesses must be at the forefront of responsible business conduct. That is not the case today. In 2020, Norway\u2019s NCP and Amnesty published reports showing that the situation was less than satisfactory when it comes to knowledge and implementation of the OECD Guidelines for Responsible Business Conduct and the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights. Major efforts are required on the part of both governments and the business sector to ensure that Norwegian businesses are able to compete after the coronavirus pandemic.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 1.875rem;font-style: italic\">\u2018When the pandemic loosens its grip, Norwegian business and industry must be prepared to meet a market that places new demands on them\u2019<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"no-image-border alignnone wp-image-388025 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/files.teststeder.regjeringen.no\/wpuploads01\/sites\/263\/2021\/06\/Elgesem_signatur-300x175.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"175\" srcset=\"https:\/\/files.teststeder.regjeringen.no\/wpuploads01\/sites\/263\/2021\/06\/Elgesem_signatur-300x175.png 300w, https:\/\/files.teststeder.regjeringen.no\/wpuploads01\/sites\/263\/2021\/06\/Elgesem_signatur-400x234.png 400w, https:\/\/files.teststeder.regjeringen.no\/wpuploads01\/sites\/263\/2021\/06\/Elgesem_signatur.png 506w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\t<div class=\"hogan-expandable-list-item list-item\">\n\t\t<div class=\"anchor\" id=\"panel-1-1\">&nbsp;<\/div>\n\t\t<a href=\"#panel-1-1\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"hogan-expandable-list-item-title\">The OECD\u2019s unique guidelines<\/div>\t\t\t<span><\/span>\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t<div aria-expanded=\"false\">\n\t\t\t<h3>The OECD Guidelines for Multi\u00adnational Enterprises are the most extensive and best established of all international mechanisms promoting responsible business conduct.<\/h3>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"no-image-border alignnone wp-image-388029 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/files.teststeder.regjeringen.no\/wpuploads01\/sites\/263\/2021\/06\/50_eng-293x300.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"293\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/files.teststeder.regjeringen.no\/wpuploads01\/sites\/263\/2021\/06\/50_eng-293x300.png 293w, https:\/\/files.teststeder.regjeringen.no\/wpuploads01\/sites\/263\/2021\/06\/50_eng-300x307.png 300w, https:\/\/files.teststeder.regjeringen.no\/wpuploads01\/sites\/263\/2021\/06\/50_eng-400x410.png 400w, https:\/\/files.teststeder.regjeringen.no\/wpuploads01\/sites\/263\/2021\/06\/50_eng.png 415w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 293px) 100vw, 293px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Sustainable development<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>A main objective of the OECD Guidelines is for the business sector to contribute to sustainable development.
