The Role of the United Nations in Promoting Corporate Social Responsibility
In this Policy Statement, the International Chamber of Commerce (“ICC”) maintains that the United Nations should focus on efforts that promote corporate social responsibility to smaller and medium-sized businesses in developing and developed countries, rather than on the more advanced companies that already have programs in place. The ICC believes that these efforts would help to promote long-standing global objectives related to economic development, environmental protection and social development – the three key elements of sustainable development – and thus contribute to the fundamental objectives of the United Nations. The ICC believes that the UN Global Compact’s accountability to the UN and to its participating companies should be clarified and further strengthened.
