Responsible business conduct for a just transition

The global transition to a low-carbon economy offers significant opportunities for innovation, competitiveness and decent work. However, if not carefully managed, it can also pose risks for workers, communities and consumers. Businesses have a critical role to play in ensuring that social considerations are fully integrated into climate transition strategies, yet research finds that only a small minority of companies demonstrate concrete planning for a just transition.

This webinar will mark the launch of the OECD paper Responsible Business Conduct for a Just Transition: Protecting Workers, Communities and Consumers in the Low-Carbon Transition and provide an opportunity to:

• Explore the report’s key findings and examples of good practice
• Learn how implementing existing international standards on responsible business conduct can support a just transition
• Raise questions and share experiences with other practitioners and stakeholders
