The Ten Principles of the UN Global Compact
Celebrate with Mean Communications as we join the UN Global Compact and pledge to adopt socially responsible policies!
What is the UN Global Compact?
The United Nations Global Compact is a UN initiative created to encourage businesses to uphold sustainable and socially responsible practices. Announced in 1999, the initiative urges businesses to improve in areas including human rights, labor, environment, and anti-corruption. The initiative also provides a framework that companies like us can implement!
Mean Communications is proud to stand in support of the Ten Principles of the UN Global Compact. We truly believe that being a socially responsible business is the best way to create the change in the world.
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 labour;
Principle 5: The effective abolition of child labour; and
Principle 6: The elimination of discrimination in respect of 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.
