On this list we do not include all UN Global Compact participants, only companies that have a separate commitment to human rights (for example within a company code of conduct or as a stand-alone human rights policy). Incorporating human rights into company policies is one of the recommendations in the UNGC document, "Help Mark the 60th Anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights." The list does not include policy statements that refer/apply only to a company’s suppliers or employees. For more information please contact:
