Other Information on the Nature and Results of NCP Activities
The NCP's main focus to date has involved promoting the Guidelines, distributing information about them and raising awareness of them in New Zealand. While there has been some progress, the NCP is conscious that more needs to be done, and will continue its promotional activities.
If the Guidelines are to be used constructively to improve corporate practices, there needs to be a co-ordinated co-operative approach from stakeholders. The NCP will continue to further such an approach, particularly through the Liaison Group.
