The Ryerson University Institute for the Study of Corporate Social Responsibility and the federal Office of the Extractive Sector CSR Counsellor established a learning partnership on CSR and the extractive sector overseas, building a neutral platform to contribute to informed public discussion of important issues related to corporate social responsibility of mining, oil and gas companies, and enhancing cross-sector networking opportunities for those interested in these questions.
Our series of public seminars continues with an interactive dialogue with Judith St. George, Chair of Canada’s National Contact Point (NCP) for the OECD Guidelines for Multi-National Enterprises. The discussion will include: recent revisions to the Guidelines; how Canada’s NCP is organized and lessons learned; and how the NCP fits in with the Government of Canada’s CSR strategy for the Canadian international extractive sector.
