The Global Sullivan Principles of Social
Responsibility
As a company which endorses the Global
Sullivan Principles we will respect the law, and as a
responsible member of society we will apply these Principles
with integrity consistent with the legitimate role of
business. We will develop and implement company
policies, procedures, training and internal reporting
structures to ensure commitment to these Principles throughout
our organization. We believe the application of these
Principles will achieve greater tolerance and better
understanding among peoples, and advance the culture of peace.
Accordingly, we will:
 |
Express our support for universal human
rights and, particularly, those of our employees, the
communities within which we operate, and parties with whom
we do business.
|
Promote equal opportunity for our
employees at all levels of the company with respect to
issues such as color, race, gender, age, ethnicity or
religious beliefs, and operate without unacceptable worker
treatment such as the exploitation of children, physical
punishment, female abuse, involuntary servitude, or other
forms of abuse.
|
Respect our employees' voluntary freedom
of association.
|
Compensate our employees to enable them
to meet at least their basic needs and provide the
opportunity to improve their skill and capability in order
to raise their social and economic opportunities.
|
Provide a safe and healthy workplace;
protect human health and the environment; and promote
sustainable development.
|
Promote fair competition including
respect for intellectual and other property rights, and
not offer, pay or accept bribes.
|
Work with governments and communities in
which we do business to improve the quality of life in
those communities-- their educational, cultural, economic
and social well being--and seek to provide training and
opportunities for workers from disadvantaged backgrounds.
|
Promote the application of these
Principles by those with whom we do business.
|
| | | | | | |
We will be transparent in our implementation
of these Principles and provide information which demonstrates
publicly our commitment to them.
