The Declaration on Business Propriety, Integrity and Transparency was adopted by OECD countries in 2010 and covers a broad range of commitments covering competition, corporate governance, investment and responsible business conduct. The Declaration also embraces tax co-operation, anti-corruption and consumer protection.
In 2009, OECD governments committed to a Declaration on Green Growth in order to achieve economic recovery and environmentally and socially sustainable economic growth.
