The
purpose of this venture is to improve the standard of life
, by initiating action at a level where it can directly and immediately
start benefiting millions of people working in enterprises around
the world.
Through
this initiative, we hope to achieve four objectives:
- To
bring about an awareness of the important role employers everywhere
can play in improving both - society and environment, and
to stress their role as significant catalysts in the development
of the areas and the communities in which they function.
- To
help speed up the process of eliminating unfair working conditions
and unsafe work environments - not by legislation or by demanding
adherence to standards - but by spontaneous and voluntary commitments
- thus fostering trade and investments, at both national and international
levels.
- To
provide a forum to bring together like-minded employers-all willing
to learn and share their experiences-in this co-operative venture,
which would provide a platform for assessment, information
exchange, skill sharing and training.
- To
synergize labour, environmental and human rights concerns,
and to mobilize efforts to prevent abuses at all three levels.
