Labour


The Global Compact's labour principles are from the ILO Declaration on Fundamental Principles and Rights at Work. They are:

  • Principle 3: Businesses should uphold the freedom of association and the effective recognition of the right to collective bargaining;
  • Principle 4: the elimination of all forms of forced and compulsory labour;
  • Principle 5: the effective abolition of child labour; and
  • Principle 6: the elimination of discrimination in respect of employment and occupation.

For more information about the labour principles, including what companies can do to implement them, see the ten principles and principles 3, 4, 5 and 6.
