Recommendations Charter: Partnership and Dialogue Between Business and Local Communities

We are pleased to present the publication “Recommendations Charter: Partnership and Dialogue Between Business and Local Communities”, developed by the Working Group on Cooperation with Local Communities operating within the Business & Human Rights programme of UN Global Compact Network Poland. The document presents key principles, recommendations and examples of good practices for responsible cooperation between companies and local stakeholders, including residents, local governments and non-governmental organisations.

It highlights the importance of dialogue, partnership-building and taking local needs into account at every stage of business operations and investment processes.

The publication can serve as a practical resource for companies and institutions seeking to operate in line with international standards, such as the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights, the OECD Guidelines, ISO 26000 and the ESRS.

We encourage you to download the full publication and apply its recommendations in your work with local communities.
