Guiding Principles for Sustainable Development

The underlying tenet of the IGU Guiding Principles for Sustainable Development is that the gas industry integrates economic, environmental and social factors in all its business practices. The gas industry further recognises that continuous improvement of corporate performance towards sustainable development is critical for successful business. 

The gas industry's corporate performance for Sustainable Development is guided by the following declarations: 

• The Universal Declaration of Human Rights, 1948
• The ILO Declaration on Fundamental Principles and Rights at Works, 1998
• The Rio Declaration on Sustainable Development and its Agenda for the 21st century, 1992
• The United Nations Global Impact, 1999
• The OECD Principles of Corporate Governance, 1999
• The Millennium Summit, 2000
• The United Nations Convention against Corruption (UNCAC), 2005
