Global Compact
Allens Arthur Robinson is proud to be a member of the United Nations
Global Compact, a global corporate citizenship initiative involving
hundreds of companies around the world.
The Global Compact is designed to bring companies together with UN
agencies, labour and civil society to support 10 universal
environmental and social principles:
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 Standards
- 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 all
forms of corruption, including extortion and bribery.
The Global Compact seeks to promote responsible corporate citizenship
so that business can be part of the solution to the challenges of
globalisation and create a more sustainable and inclusive global
economy.
