Labour

· 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.

Environment

· 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.

Anti-corruption
