PROINVERSION PARTICIPATED IN THE OECD REPORT PRESENTATION
Lima, June 29, 2020.- The Private Investment Promotion Agency (PROINVERSIÓN) participated in the launching of the OECD report “Study of Public Policies on the Responsible Business Conduct: Peru”, organized by the OECD, the European Union, the ILO, the RBCLAC, the Ministry of Justice and PROINVERSIÓN, via an online platform.
According to the OECD, the Study of Policies Review on the Peruvian Responsible Business Conduct is a valuable tool to help the Government to adopt and promote coherently an approach of responsible business conduct through its policies and practices. Thus, it is an important input for the development process of the currently ongoing National Action Plan on Business and Human Rights in Peru.
It also represents a useful resource for decision-making under the current context of the crisis caused by the COVID-19 which has severe and lasting consequences in people’s lives, as well as in companies and economies.
The OECD pointed out that Peru is the first Latin American country with this OECD study and recommendations on Responsible Business Conduct policies.
“The adoption of a Responsible Business Conduct approach in government and business responses before this crisis has become even more important since it allows the creation of benefits in short- and long-term, such as a greater resilience and recovery capacity, a fairer and inclusive distribution of the recovery measure benefits, and a stronger and lasting contribution to the inclusive and sustainable development” affirms the OECD.
Cesar Martin Peñaranda, director of PROINVERSIÓN Investors Servicing, participated on the report presentation as panelist of the discussion “Opportunities and challenges to promote the RBC in Peru”. He expressed that in the current context, the Responsible Business Conduct (RBC) is no longer a voluntary aspect but a commitment to achieve the enterprises standards of the OECD countries and the international ones.
During the discussion, Peñaranda pointed out that the implementation of RBC policies of this OECD study is a significant challenge for the beginning of a new phase in PROINVERSIÓN activities as OECD National Contact Point. It should be noted that from 2009, the OECD National Contact Point (NCP) disseminates and implements the guidelines for enterprises and participates as an observer in the OECD Investment Committee to take notice and implement the OECD recommendations aiming at reinforcing the investments climate and promoting the sustainable development.
