OECD Due Diligence Guidance for Meaningful Stakeholder Engagement in the Extractive
Sector
Companies can contribute to positive social and economic development when they involve
stakeholders, such as local communities, in their planning and decision making. This
is particularly true in the extractive sector, which is associated with extensive
social, economic and environmental impacts. The OECD has prepared a Due Diligence
Guidance for Meaningful Stakeholder Engagement in the Extractive Sector intended to
provide practical guidance to mining, oil and gas enterprises in addressing the challenges
related to stakeholder engagement. This guide is part of the work the OECD undertakes
to create practical sectoral applications for the recommendations found in the OECD
Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises. Find out more about OECD work on stakeholder
engagement in the extractive sector please see: https://mneguidelines.oecd.org/stakeholder-engagement-extractive-industries.htm.
