OECD Due Dilligence
https://www.oecd.org/en/topics/due-diligence-for-responsible-business-conduct.html
Businesses and investors are of crucial importance for economic, environmental, and social progress. It is important that they avoid adverse impacts on people and the environment. The OECD Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises on Responsible Business Conduct call on companies to carry out risk-based due diligence. This due diligence process helps companies assess and address real and potential negative impacts in their operations, supply chains and business relationships. The OECD has developed guidance and tools to explain these expectations for due diligence and to support companies in putting them into practice.

Handbook on due diligence for enabling living incomes and living wages
https://www.oecd.org/en/publications/handbook-on-due-diligence-for-enabling-living-incomes-and-living-wages-in-agriculture-garment-and-footwear-supply-chains_6ff52567-en.html


This handbook guides companies on how to use the OECD due diligence framework for achieving living incomes and living wages in global supply chains. It responds to demands by businesses for practical tools to help translate commitments to living incomes and living wages into action as part of their human rights due diligence. The handbook focusses on the agriculture, garment and footwear sectors where inadequate incomes and wages have been identified as prevalent risks. It builds on existing OECD standards on supply chain due diligence and responsible business conduct, notably the OECD Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises on Responsible Business Conduct and the guidances for the agriculture and garment and footwear sectors, and seeks to align with the International Labour Organization (ILO) concept of a living wage.

Extended producer responsibility (OECD)
https://www.oecd.org/environment/extended-producer-responsibility.htm
OECD defines Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) as an environmental policy approach in which a producer’s responsibility for a product is extended to the post-consumer stage of a product’s life cycle. An EPR policy is characterised by:

1. the shifting of responsibility (physically and/or economically; fully or partially) upstream toward the producer and away from municipalities; and

2. the provision of incentives to producers to take into account environmental considerations when designing their products.

While other policy instruments tend to target a single point in the chain, EPR seeks to integrate signals related to the environmental characteristics of products and production processes throughout the product chain.
