  Good corporate citizenship and reputation are the most important drivers behind a company’s decision to embrace, support and enact in their sphere of influence, a set of core values in the area of human rights, labour standards, the environment and anti corruption.

The United Nations Global Compact Principles bring together through collective action, a strong driving force to help business become part of the solution to the challenges of globalization.

The business should reflect public accountability, transparency and its responsibility to labour and civil society. It must catalyze action to uphold the ten principles in its business activities, wherever they are conducted.
