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.
