The Global Compact's ten principles in the areas of human rights, labour, the environment and anti-corruption enjoy universal consensus and 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 • The United Nations Convention against Corruption
The Compact Quarterly endeavors to provide Global Compact participants, stakeholders and observers with a range of thought-provoking articles, interviews and updates on topics related to the initiative, as well as to corporate responsibility in general. Produced by the Global Compact Office, the Compact Quarterly is published four times a year in electronic form. A printed compendium of the Compact Quarterly is produced at the end of each calendar year.
Readers are encouraged to contact Carrie Hall, Editor, at hallc@un.org with comments and suggestions, as well as to express interest in contributing to future issues of the Compact Quarterly.
