Issuer name

Interdepartmental Commission on Sustainable Development

More information

This plan aims to provide a platform to highlight good practices of sectors and companies in the field and to create more opportunities for dialogue in order to better respond to the complex challenges inherent in this issue. The plan will be particularly careful not to increase the administrative burden for companies and organizations and will ensure that the actions are part of a "level playing field" at European and international level. Many of the actions included in this National Business and Human Rights Action Plan are not limited solely to human rights, but also deepen various aspects of social responsibility. For companies and organizations, attention to human rights is often part of their approach to sustainable and socially responsible entrepreneurship. The implementation of the action plan will be evaluated annually within the Social Responsibility working group of the Interdepartmental Commission for Sustainable Development. On the basis of this evaluation, a progress report will be drawn up. An evaluation of the National Action Plan and the implementation of the actions, together with the stakeholders, is planned within 3 years from the approval of the action plan by the government. At the time of this evaluation, it may be decided to modify or update the action plan.
