This paper focuses on global instruments for promoting corporate social responsibility (CSR) such as the Global Compact (GC) and the OECD Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises. It discusses how they function and what they have achieved. In the conclusion, the author states that the mechanism of the OECD Guidelines is superior to the one-sided best practices approach of the GC. She suggests that Germany should, like other OECD countries, encourage businesses to abide by the OECD Guidelines.
