The Global Compact declares 10 principles in the areas of human rights, labor relations, environmental protection, and countering corruption that shall be followed by the parties of their own free will. The Global Compact calls on parties to support the UN’s sustainable development goals aimed at enhancing the well-being of the present and future generations.
