Discussion on the U.N Global Compact
Aug 17, 2011
|
|
The UNGC is a voluntary initiative at the
strategic level to engage businesses towards sustainability principles. There is however a risk of 'blue-washing' by covering up corporate
misbehaviour and law infringement from large MNEs through poorly enforced 'Integrity
Measures' and weak U.N supervision. What is your opinion on the Global Compact, is it
detrimental to the U.N. image? Or is it necessary to engage businesses at a global level on
corporate social responsibility? How do you think businesses actors should cooperate with the UN?

60 international activists occupy Gold Corporation headquarters in Rosia
Montana
In September 28th, approximately 60 international activists taking part in the Reclaim the Fields
camp, together with the local association Alburnus Maior, from Rosia Montana, Romania, occupied and
blocked the entrance to the Rosia
Montana Gold Corporation's headquarters in the village's Old Square. This action was in
defiance of the companies continuing attempt to expropriate locals and destroy an area protected by
Romanian conservation law.
Rosia Montana Gold Corporation is 19.31 percent owned by the Romanian state with
the remaining shareholders including Gabriel
Resources, Newmont and Barrick
Gold all three companies being Global Compact participants. The consortium itself is registered
as as a Global Compact participant since 2005.

What do you think about the United Nations covering up corporate misbehaviour and human rights
infringement from large MNEs through poorly enforced 'Integrity
Measures' ?
What should we do other than staying in apathy?
