Pillar 2 – RBC Agreement for the Pension Funds, basic activities

Responsible Business Conduct (RBC) Agreements

The Dutch government has concluded agreements on responsible business conduct (RBC) with Dutch sectors and civil society organisations. The agreements set out how companies can work with civil society organisations and government to prevent abuses in the areas of human rights, labour rights and the environment.

Goal of this project

Supporting civil society organisations to make their knowledge available to play a role in the implementation of the RBC Agreement for the Pension Funds.
The civil society organisations contribute to reduction of International Corporate Social Responsibility (ICSR) risks in international value chains conform their commitments, as set out in the RBC Agreement.

Note

FVO's Pillar 2 projects support civil society organisations that make their knowledge of human rights due diligence and (international) network accessible to help achieve the goals of the ICSR covenants. Businesses, social organisations and government work together in ICSR covenants, to make value chains more sustainable. The covenants are organised by sector. The sectors have international value chains in multiple production countries/regions.
