Abstract

The Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) paper represents the most elaborate discussion by the SRSG on the issue of responsible supply chain management (RSCM) to date and thus constitutes, together with the United Nations Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights (UNGPs), the point of departure of this chapter. It argues that the RSCM approach applied by the Special Representative of the Secretary-General (SRSG) seems to remain within current RSCM paradigms. The points made in the chapter are to a large extent inspired by 15 years of advising international corporations and governments on how to practice corporate social responsibility (CSR) and RSCM. The SRSG, Professor John Ruggie, has without a doubt brought clarity to the field of RSCM and taken a step in the right direction when it comes to sustainability. Keywords:corporate social responsibility (CSR); international corporations; John Ruggie; OECD; responsible supply chain management (RSCM); Special Representative of the Secretary-General (SRSG); UNGPs
