Partnership principles

Partnerships should be common undertakings between partners in pursuit of common goals. In this framework, PACT operates around the following key principles:

  • Common purpose;
  • Transparency;
  • Bestowing no unfair advantages upon any partner;
  • Mutual benefit and mutual respect;
  • Accountability;
  • Respect for the modalities, aims and principles of the United Nations;
  • Striving for balanced representation of relevant partners from developed and developing countries with economies in transition;
  • Maintaining the independence and neutrality of the United Nations system.
