Internship: Corporate Social Responsibility / Responsible Business Conduct In Global Supply Chains

The International Labour Organization (ILO) is the United Nations specialized agency devoted to advancing opportunities for women and men to obtain decent and productive work in conditions of freedom, equity, security and human dignity. The organisation’s main objectives are to promote rights at work, encourage decent employment opportunities for all, enhance social protection and strengthen dialogue in handling work-related issues. The ILO “Tripartite declaration of principles concerning multinational enterprises and social policy (MNE Declaration) is the ILO instrument adopted by Governments, and employers’ and workers’ organizations in 1977 and most recently revised in 2017 which provides guidance to multinationals and other enterprises on respecting workers’ rights and contributing more broadly to economic and social development; and to governments on creating an enabling environment to encourage all companies to do so. It forms the framework for ILO’s work on corporate social responsibility, containing principles derived mainly from international labour standards and incorporates the 1998 ILO Declaration on Fundamental Principles and Rights at Work, contributing to promoting decent work in global supply chains.
