Convention of Global Compact Society

NEW DELHI, JULY 27 . "In the well-being of the common man lies the well-being of business. The nexus of corruption can be removed effectively by introducing more interactive portals like E-Seva." This was stated by Rajeev Ratna Shah, Secretary of the Planning Commission, at the first National Convention of Global Compact Society organised in association with FICCI here today.

Subir Raha, CMD of ONGC and President of Global Compact Society, spoke of Global Compact's ten principles in the area of human rights, labour and environment. "Combating corruption is the biggest challenge today and Global Compact Society is to play a pivotal role in removing the discrimination in various sections of society."

K.K.Sinha, Vice-President and Convenor of Global Compact Society and Director (Human Resources) NTPC, said that "while India is poised to emerge as a strong economic power today, the thrust on corporate social responsibility will go a long way in the growth of business and sustainable development of society."

The convention was attended by over 200 delegates from leading public and private sector companies.
