United Nations Global Compact on Corporate Accountability


The United Nations Global Compact, launched on July 26 2000, offers an opportunity for UN bodies, corporations, unions and non-governmental organizations with a variety of interests to come together and reinforce ongoing efforts around the world to promote greater corporate accountability. UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan has challenged world business leaders to "embrace and enact" the Global Compact, both in their individual corporate practices and by supporting appropriate public policies. The Global Compact encompasses principles relating to human rights, labor and the environment.
