develop a new global framework:
”… [that should] clearly, and for managers understandably, state what it is that global society expects of corporations in sustainable societies… The global code should provide the framework or the standard of mandatory reporting and verification. Corporations hold a great deal of information. The work underway in SA 8000 on the social side, and the multi-sectoral Global Reporting Initiative, can provide the basis for this global and binding monitoring and verification regime. The code should also require of governments to reform their own policy coherence in support of the implementation of this code…
The process should discuss the norms and values underpinning corporate behaviour and the mechanisms to monitor and verify the measures put in place by the corporate entities to comply and go beyond. A global convention on Corporate Accountability could emerge.”
(Pieter van der Gaag, ANPED, the Northern Alliance for Sustainability, Netherlands)
Governments should focus on disclosure and verification to achieve
