The UNGC supports companies to do business responsibly by adhering to ten principles that cover human rights, labor, the environment and anti-corruption. It also encourages companies to participate in advancing broader societal goals – such as those defined in the UN SDGs – with an emphasis on collaboration and innovation. We are committed and express our intent to implementing the ten principles of the Global Compact.

The ten principles are a part of our company’s policy, strategy and Code of Conduct, culture and day-to-day operations. We are also engaging in collaborative projects which advance the broader development goals of the United Nations.

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.

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 labor;
Principle 5:	the effective abolition of child labor; and
Principle 6:	the elimination of discrimination with respect to employment and occupation.

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.

Principle 10:

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

We are shaping a sustainable future, accelerating our sustainability efforts, and scaling up impacts around the world for long-term business success and to make a difference in society. Details on how we support and enact the principles are included in the relevant section in our Sustainability Report and website.
