OECD Risk Awareness Tool

The National Contact Point is also responsible for promoting the OECD Risk Awareness Tool for Multinational Enterprises in Weak Governance Zones, which aims to help companies that invest in countries where governments are unwilling or unable to assume their responsibilities. It addresses risks and ethical dilemmas that companies are likely to face in such weak governance zones.

The Risk Awareness Tool raises a number of questions useful for companies facing such difficult operating environments.
