The
UN Global Compact
initiative pursues
two complementary goals:
1. To internationalize
the Compact and its principles by making them
part of business strategy and operations.
2. To catalyze cooperation and collective
problem solving between different sectors and
stakeholders.
The Global Compact
asks companies to embrace, support and enact,
within their sphere of influence, a set of core
values in the areas of human rights, labour
standards, the environment, and anti-corruption.
