UN Global Compact Ten Principles

This publication provides a high-level overview of the key linkages between the UN Global Compact’s Ten Principles and the seven core subjects of social responsibility defined by ISO 26000 (human rights, labour practices, the environment, fair operating practices, consumer issues, community involvement).

While not an exhaustive review of the numerous areas of alignment between the two initiatives, this publication shows that there is clear consistency – and that all UN Global Compact Principles are included in ISO 26000.
