Global Charter

Responsibilecompany^® Global Charter is a voluntary initiative under which companies work together to improve the quality of the work environment for their employees, along with the quality of life for people in the community and society at large.

A responsible business is an organization which takes a strategic approach to include sustainability, ethics and corporate responsibility to create long-term sustainable value for relevant stakeholders.
