• The Global Compact. In an address to the World Economic Forum on 31 January 1999, the former Secretary-General of the United Nations, Kofi Annan, challenged business leaders to join an international initiative – the Global Compact – that would bring companies together with UN agencies, labour and civil society to support universal environmental and social principles. http://www.unglobalcompact.org/
- Today, thousands of companies from all regions of the world are engaged in the Global Compact, working to advance 10 UNIVERSAL PRINCIPLES in four areas:
> Human Rights > Labour > The Environment > Anti-corruption
