The Responsible Television series is produced in conjunction with the UN Global Compact and the United Nations Environment Program (UNEP).

Responsible Business Television highlights global corporations that are advancing the principles of the UN Global Compact and developing business-driven solutions to some of the greatest challenges facing our world today.

Launched in July 2000, the United Nations Global Compact brings business together with UN agencies, labor, civil society and governments to advance 10 universal principles in the areas of human rights, labor, environment and anticorruption.

Through the power of collective action, the Global Compact seeks to mainstream these 10 principles in business activities around the world and to catalyze actions in support of broader UN goals. With more than 3,200 participants in over 100 countries, it is the world's largest voluntary corporate citizenship initiative.
