UN Global Compact/IPIECA/GRI index
The UN Global Compact (UNGC) is an international initiative that brings together companies, UN agencies, labour organisations and civil society in support of ten principles covering human rights, labour, the environment and corruption.The ten principles are based on 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.
In December 2004, we signed up to the UNGC to reaffirm our commitments to respect labour standards and human rights, to operate in an environmentally responsible manner and to maintain zero tolerance towards corruption. Here we provide an index to our performance in demonstrating the Global Compact’s ten principles in ourwork. This index cross references to relevant IPIECA and GRI G3 indicators used in this report.
