closely linked with the principles of
sustainable development and
implies that corporations should
not only take decisions based on
financial and economic factors but
also on the social and
environmental consequences of
their activities, including impact on

advancement of women. With its
ten principles of corporate social
responsibility, the United Nations
Global Compact seeks to promote
responsible corporate citizenship
so that business can be part of the
solution to the challenges of
globalization.”
