RBC Compass – a useful tool

14. June 2018

The Norwegian NCP has developed a unique self-assessment tool. Completed, the RBC Compass gives a snapshot of the extent to which your company complies with the OECD Guidelines (2011). How is your company performing on responsible business conduct? Do you have a well-adopted human rights policy and a policy to contribute to sustainable development? How do you identify and address risks to people, the environment and society associated with your business operations, products or services?

The Compass gives an introduction to the expectations on responsible business conduct in the OECD Guidelines (2011 version). The Compass presents the recommendations in the Guidelines in an Excel spreadsheet, as statements for the company to decide upon, and the results are further graphically presented as a star chart. In this way, it provides the company board and management with a quick overview of where compliance is lacking, and lays the foundation for improved routines.

The tool is based on the OECD Guidelines (2011) and the OECD Due Diligence Guidance for RBC, and is actively used in seminars executed by the Norwegian NCP on due diligence.

The compass has been developed in collaboration with Kristin Holter, Stakeholder as.
