The National Contact Point (NCP) considered the complaint brought under Chapter II (General policies), Chapter IV (Employment and Industrial Relations) and Chapter VI (Combating bribery) of the OECD Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises (the Guidelines) alleging that Afrimex paid taxes to rebel forces in the Democratic Republic of Congo and practiced insufficient due diligence on the supply chain, sourcing minerals from mines that used child and forced labour, who work under unacceptable health and safety practices. The NCP upheld the majority of the allegations brought by Global Witness. [also refers to SOCOMI, Société Kotecha]
