Abstract

IntroductionThe statement by the Danish National Contact Point (ncp) in Clean Clothes Campaign Danmark and Aktive Forbrugere (Active Consumers) v pwt Group A/S, advances the oecd due diligence obligations.1Despite a failure of proof, the ncp applied the duty to inspect the safety of suppliers’ worksite building when the inspection is incorporated in company policy or is an industry practice as integral to the risk-based due diligence obligation. It also held the oecd Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises to a high standard by requiring strict documentation of adherence to its policies and their implementation, and confirmed the oecd Guidelines’ stipulation that the ncp cannot impose liabilities or sanctions on companies. The ncp determined that due diligence required the respondent to seek to prevent or mitigate an adverse impact when they have not contributed to that impact but the impact is nevertheless directly linked to their operations, and held that companies must require their suppliers to establish human rights policies.The AllegationsThe complainant, Clean Clothes Campaign Danmark and Aktive Forbrugere, alleged to the oecd ncp in December 2014 that the respondent, pwt Group, which owns the menswear chains Tøjeksperten and Wagner, had violated the oecd Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises by failing to carry
