Globalization, if rooted in universal principles, has the power to improve our world fundamentally - delivering economic and social benefits to people, communities and markets everywhere.

Responsible Business Television
Responsible Business is a television series produced by Global Initiatives and will showcase leading global corporations that, in partnership with government, NGOs and other international organizations, are developing business-driven solutions to some of the greatest challenges facing our world today. Not only to improve corporate reputation or increase profits, but because it’s the right thing to do.
The series highlights the issues – poverty, climate change, human rights, corruption, education and healthcare among others – and explores innovative strategies and partnerships that place corporate citizenship at the very centre of international business. Each episode showcases companies that are setting new benchmarks for measuring business, social and environmental success.
Responsible Business explores the role of the corporation in advancing sustainable economic and social development and solving global problems through multi-stakeholder partnerships. Promoting the principles put forth by the United Nations Global Compact, the series presents companies demonstrating leadership in adopting these principles throughout their business.
