Launched in 2000, the UN Global Compact brings business together with UN
agencies, labor, civil society and governments to advance ten universal
principles in the areas of human rights, labor, environment and
anti-corruption. Through the power of collective action, the Global
Compact seeks to mainstream these ten principles in business activities
around the world and to catalyze actions in support of broader UN goals.
With over 3,000 participating companies from more than 100 countries, it
is the world's largest voluntary corporate citizenship initiative. For
