United Nations Global Compact Principles

Nalco Company supports the ten principles of the United Nations Global Compact with respect to human rights, labor, environment and anti-corruption. We intend to advance these principles within our sphere of influence. We are committed to making the Global Compact and its principles part of the strategy, culture and day-to-day operations of our company, and to engaging in collaborative projects, which advance the broader development goals of the United Nations, particularly the Millennium Development Goals.

As part of our commitment to the Global Compact, we issue an annual Communication on Progress (COP) as our public disclosure to our stakeholders on the progress we have made in implementing the ten principles of the UN Global Compact, and in supporting broad United Nations development goals. That COP is included in our 2010 Sustainability Report.
