GLOBAL VALUE: Assessing the Impacts of Multinational Corporations on Global Development and Value Creation

GLOBAL VALUE is one of the largest EU-funded research projects to date addressing the measurement and management of business impacts on global sustainable development. It aimes to create a framework and toolkit that multinational companies can use to comprehensively assess and better manage their impacts.

Twelve partners are involved in t he project, including civil society organisations and companies and some of the leading minds in CSR and development research across Europe, Asia and Africa.

The project develops a "Tool Navigator" which presents and analyses instruments that help multinational companies to assess and improve their contribution to the UN sustainability goals (SDGs).

As part of the GLOBAL VALUE project, t he Oeko-Institut leads a work package that conceptually and empirically examines the effects of institutional frameworks - so-called "systems of governance" - on sustainablility action in multinational companies . The term "systems of governance" refers to interlocking regulatory structures on a specific topic. Interviews are carried out with actors in Europe, Tanzania and Bangladesh.
