Meeting of Social Partners Held on the ILO Declaration on Multinational Enterprises

A training and consultation meeting for social partners is underway under the theme “The National Human Rights Program II and the ILO Declaration on Multinational Enterprises.”

The MNE Declaration, adopted in March 2023, is a tripartite declaration of principles concerning multinational enterprises and social policy. It aims to enhance the positive social and labour impacts of enterprises and promote decent work for all.

The two-day training aims to integrate the implementation of the MNE Declaration into the laws, programs, and actions of the Parliament and Government of Mongolia related to human rights and labour rights.

The training is being led by Yulia Gershinkova, Specialist on Business and Multinational Enterprises from the ILO Geneva Office, and Kelvin Sergeant, Specialist on Job Creation and Enterprise Development from the ILO Regional Office for Asia and the Pacific. Discussions will focus on aligning priority directions for employment promotion with the principles of the ILO MNE Declaration and exploring opportunities to strengthen sustainable and responsible business practices.
