Assessing Minimum Safeguards

Overview

In the Minimum Safeguards workspace, you can fill out a questionnaire for your reporting entity assessing whether your reporting entity meets the minimum safeguards criteria, i.e. essential international guidelines, focusing on four core standards:

  • OECD Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises

  • ILO Fundamental Conventions
  • The International Bill of Human Rights.

Confirming your reporting entity's alignment with these standards is an essential step to ensure the alignment with the EU Taxonomy for any business activity related to your reporting entity.
