Enabling sustainable investment in ASEAN
This paper analyses the efforts made by the governments of the Association of Southeast
Asian Nations (ASEAN) to attract sustainable investment and how they can further promote
investment benefits for social and environmental objectives. It uses the OECD’s flagship
tools on investment and responsible business conduct, and builds on the OECD’s strong
collaboration on investment with ASEAN. Aiming to help ASEAN Member States in their
efforts to implement the sustainable investment component of the ASEAN Comprehensive
Recovery Framework, this paper provides indicators to measure the sustainability impacts
of foreign direct investment, benchmarks investment policy reforms and investment
promotion priorities, and suggests ways to enable responsible business conduct and
policy initiatives to foster green investment.
