유엔글로벌컴팩의 성격과 발전방향: ‘사회책임(CSR)’과 ‘기업시민(Corporate Citizenship) 되기’ 대한 쟁점 검토를 통해서

Today, we are suffering from the worldly crisis that has been caused by financial capitalism. However, the subject(corporation) that has generated the crisis is also becoming driving force to urge economic development. In that sense, the point is how to change the corporations for a sustainable world in the future. In this context, the spirit(10 principles) of UN Global Compact is for Corporations to suggest them to adopt good corporate citizenship through CSR. Philosophy between UN Global Compact and corporate ethics is very much related. The emergence of ISO 26000 is to push them to increase international pressure for CSR. In the near future, it might be difficult for corporations to survive and might weaken their competitive advantage if they will not follow the standard. This paper is timely because the discussion will give a right direction in which corporations are going to follow the principles of the UN Global Compact. Eventually this paper suggests that corporations consider becoming good corporate citizenship through CSR. On the other hand, this is to make UN Global Compact's partner corporations adopt its virtue and do pure CSR activities rather than result in disincentives(regulations, audits, and control etc.). As crisis turns into opportunity, corporations can get them strengthened in trust and get them respected to follow the social capital, then Global Compact will contribute to strengthening of the influence of the UN. This paper also suggests some incentive factors(award and positive methods rather than disincentive including watch, monitering, and regulation etc.) for the successful development of Global Compact on the UN side.
