Global Compact Policy Dialogue on Supply Chain Management and Partnerships
UN Headquarters,

12-13 June 2003
The dialogue identified challenges companies face in addressing labour issues such as
freedom of association and a living wage. The lack of standard performance measures, policies and
implementation schemes were cited as significant obstacles. While cooperation amongst companies was
emphasized, the need for local governments to enforce existing labour standards while working
towards international labour standards was also highlighted. To address these challenges, the
report recommends that companies adopt a collective approach in working towards a more harmonized
system of standards, systems and initiatives. Finally, learning from existing tools for quality and
standards management, such as ISO, was also considered.
