    Essential Details

     

    The Guiding Principles are based on fundamental principles of social, environmental and governance responsibility that are consistent with applicable laws and international standards, which may include the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights, ILO Conventions, OECD Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises, the Rio Declaration on Environment and Development, as well as the Paris Agreement.

    The Guiding Principles define common expectations of the signatories for their suppliers. To fulfill the Guiding Principles, automotive suppliers should implement a management system/s — defined as a combination of policies, processes, functions, tools and internal controls — that help organizations control operations, reach objectives, and ensure continuous improvement. Recommendations concerning the practical application of the Guiding Principles are outlined in the Practical Guidance.

    Both resources are now offered in English, Chinese, Spanish, Portuguese, German, French, Italian, Polish, Turkish, and Hungarian.
