THE TEN PRINCIPLES OF THE UN GLOBAL COMPACT

Corporate sustainability starts with a company’s value system and a
principles-based approach to doing business. This means operating in ways that,
at a minimum, meet fundamental responsibilities in the areas of human rights,
labour, environment and anti-corruption. Responsible businesses enact the same
values and principles wherever they have a presence, and know that good
practices in one area do not offset harm in another. By incorporating the Ten
Principles of the UN Global Compact into strategies, policies and procedures,
and establishing a culture of integrity, companies are not only upholding their
basic responsibilities to people and planet, but also setting the stage for
long-term success.

The Ten Principles of the United Nations Global Compact are derived from: the
Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the International Labour Organization’s
Declaration on Fundamental Principles and Rights at Work, the Rio Declaration on
Environment and Development, and the United Nations Convention Against
Corruption.


HUMAN RIGHTS

Principle 1: Businesses should support and respect the protection of
internationally proclaimed human rights; and

Principle 2: make sure that they are not complicit in human rights abuses.


LABOUR


Principle 3: Businesses should uphold the freedom of association and the
effective recognition of the right to collective bargaining;

Principle 4: the elimination of all forms of forced and compulsory labour;

Principle 5: the effective abolition of child labour; and

Principle 6: the elimination of discrimination in respect of employment and
occupation.


ENVIRONMENT


Principle 7: Businesses should support a precautionary approach to environmental
challenges;

Principle 8: undertake initiatives to promote greater environmental
responsibility; and

Principle 9: encourage the development and diffusion of environmentally friendly
technologies.


ANTI-CORRUPTION


Principle 10: Businesses should work against corruption in all its forms,
including extortion and bribery.
