Roundtable on Corporate Responsibility: OECD Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises and the Financial Sector

18 June 2007, Paris, France

In conjunction with the Annual Meeting for National Contact Points, the OECD held a Corporate Responsibility Roundtable on "The OECD Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises and the Financial Sector" on 18 June 2007 in Paris.  This year’s Roundtable was devoted to a two-way dialogue between the financial community and the NCPs with the purpose of: 

• learning from practitioners about current trends in corporate responsibility practices and instruments in the financial sector and the challenges ahead; and 
• exchanging views with financial actors on the various ways in which the OECD Guidelines can best support  their efforts to promote corporate responsibility.
