| Resumen : | The debate around the conduct of transnational corporations (TNCs) globally has
been lively. Attention has focussed on the growing role of non-governmental
organisations (NGOs) in ensuring that the TNCs become more accountable. NGOs
influence the activities of TNCs in three crucial ways. First, through lobbying and
encouraging others to lobby, they have brought pressure to bear on TNCs. Second,
they have helped set and enforce regulations and standards to which, at the risk of
financial loss, TNCs are keen to aspire. Third, NGOs have helped generate
consumer concern to the extent that it is now a company’s long term competitive
interest to act responsibly (Mulligan 1999:51). |
