![Page 17: ITC-ILO/ACTRAV/FES/GUF Training Course on: CSR New Challenge or Opportunity? Course Orientation 28 November 2005](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062401/5a4d1b087f8b9ab0599893b8/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Points for Discussions 1
•International Labour Standards and CSR- Does CSR promote ILS, or impede?
•ILO Tripartite Declaration on Principles concerning MNEs and Social Policies- Is it an effective tool for unions, or not?- How best can unions promote and use it?
•OECD Guidelines for MNEs- How can unions try to improve it?
![Page 18: ITC-ILO/ACTRAV/FES/GUF Training Course on: CSR New Challenge or Opportunity? Course Orientation 28 November 2005](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062401/5a4d1b087f8b9ab0599893b8/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Points for Discussions 2•Multi-stakeholder codes/guidelines
- Are they real?- How should we deal with them?
•CSR of Multinational Companies- Are they a mere “PR” tool?- How can we work with good MNEs?
•Framework Agreements- How best can we use FA to organize, bargain collectively and improve conditions?- Can we have FA with Asian MNEs?
