An international initiative that would bring companies together with UN agencies, labour and civil society to support universal environmental and social principles. The Global Compact's operational phase was launched at UN Headquarters in New York on 26 July 2000. Today, many hundreds of companies from all regions of the world, international labour and civil society organizations are engaged in the Global Compact, working to advance ten universal principles in the areas of human rights, labour, the environment and anti-corruption. The Global Compact is a direct initiative of the Secretary-General. The Global Compact involves all the relevant social actors: governments, who defined the principles on which the initiative is based; companies, whose actions it seeks to influence; labour, in whose hands the concrete process of global production takes place; civil society organizations, representing the wider community of stakeholders; and the United Nations, the world's only truly global political forum, as an authoritative convener and facilitator. 1, record 7, English, - United%20Nations%20Global%20Compact

El Pacto Mundial es una iniciativa voluntaria, en la cual las empresas se comprometen a alinear sus estrategias y operaciones con diez principios universalmente aceptados en cuatro áreas temáticas: derechos humanos, estándares laborales, medio ambiente y anti-corrupción. Por su número de participantes, varios miles en más de 100 países, el Pacto Mundial es la iniciativa de ciudadanía corporativa más grande del mundo. El Pacto es un marco de acción encaminado a la construcción de la legitimación social de los negocios y los mercados. Aquellas empresas que se adhieren al Pacto Mundial comparten la convicción de que las prácticas empresariales basadas en principios universales contribuyen a la construcción de un mercado global más estable, equitativo e incluyente que fomenta sociedades más prósperas. Las empresas, el comercio y la inversión son pilares esenciales para la paz y prosperidad. Pero en muchas áreas, las empresas están ligadas a serios dilemas, como pueden ser la explotación, la corrupción, la inequidad y otras barreras que frenan la innovación y el espíritu empresarial. Las acciones empresariales responsables construyen confianza y capital social, al mismo tiempo que contribuyen al desarrollo y mercados sustentables. 2, record 7, Spanish, - Pacto%20Mundial
