	Proposals calling for the regulation of companies in terms of their social and environment impacts has been dismissed, as in the words of one leading business representative - [[Lord Holme]], as ideological and the agenda of a "fundamentalist minority". Yet the arguments presented by the likes of Enoch, Bello and Juniper are compelling and the corporate influence on institutions such as the UN is of concern. As Juniper has stated, the Charter of the United Nations opens with the grand phrase "We the Peoples", but we must question is it really "We the Peoples" who are driving the agenda? or would "We the Corporations" be a more fitting address?

		+	In 2005, the ''New York Times'' reported that Annan has effectively turned the United Nations into an institution that sees corporations as its partners and thus as part of the solution, not as part of the problem of global governance and development. Annan is quoted as emphasizing that it "is the absence of broad-based business activity, not its presence, that condemns much of humanity to suffering."<ref>Benner, T. (2005) ( [http://www.nytimes.com/2005/08/17/opinion/17iht-edbenner.html?_r=1&scp=13&sq=global%20compact&st=cse The UN can help business help itself] <i>New York Times</i>. August 18th 2005. Accessed 28th May 2009</ref>. This is a contradiction to the UN's ''World Social Situation'' report ([[Image:UN World Social Situation report 2005.pdf]]) published in the same year which stressed that economic growth and income generation (which are key charateristics of the business model) are ineffective as a development strategy as it 'leads to the accumulation of wealth by a few and deepens the poverty of many'. They go on to elaborate that 'foremost among the global dynamics that help explain the root causes of persistant inequality trends are the liberalization policies'<ref>United Nations (2005) ''World Social Situation'' United Nations Publication 2005</ref>. In other words poverty and inequality are increasing primarily through the free and unhindered activities of business, which is the model championed by the ICC. This inequality predicament is not only an issue for 'developing' countries but also for the majority of the world's population including the UK and USA. Another UN report in 2005 entitled the ''Human Development Report''<ref>United Nations (2005) ''Human Development Report''. United Nations Publications 2005</ref> showed how more than 80% of the world's population live in countries with rising inequality. This included much of the EU (including the UK) and the USA. The report stressed that Britain and America have some of the highest levels of poverty in the western world despite being two of the world's top economies with continued economic growth.

 * Catalyze actions in support of broader UN goals, including the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs)
 The Compact brings companies together with governments, civil society, labour, the United Nations and other key interests. It agreements are not binding as this is a voluntary initiative which relies on a policy of transparency and accountability, known as the Communication on Progress (COP) as its means of monitoring. Companies are required to report annually as a demonstation to their commitment to the Global Compact and its principles. As the UN Global Compact states, 'a commitment to transparency and disclosure is critical to the success of the initiative'. They go on to add that failure to communicate 'will result in a change in participant status and possible delisting'.

 The report continues by adding:
 :'It will come as no surprise to discover that the British government has consistently sided with business against the human rights community. The government's official submission on the UN norms argued that corporations should not face legally binding responsibilities for their actions under human rights law. This week in Geneva, the British representative echoed the corporate line yet again by holding up the Global Compact as an example of a bridge between different sectors and standards... The last time the UN drew up a binding code of conduct for multinational companies, the British government joined forces with Germany, the US and other rich nations to ensure such rules never saw the light of day. The final draft of the code was suppressed in 1990, and the UN bodies responsible for it were closed down'.
 In a critique by Bello<ref>Bello, W. (2001) [http://www.tni.org/detail_page.phtml?page=archives_bello_conjuncture The Global Conjuncture: Characteristics and Challenges] ''Focus on Trade''. No. 60. March 2001. Accessed from the Transnational Institute, 15th April 2009</ref>, the Global Compact has been described as a 'whitewash mechanism' used to legitimise business as usual as a 'soft corporate counteroffensive' against rising criticism of the workings of modern capitalism. In other words, to whitewash the corporate image. Enoch has a similar view of voluntary codes when he argues that signing up to voluntary codes for social responsibility is a tactic used by the business world to avoid binding regulations and constraints on corporate power<ref>Enoch, S. (2007) 'A Greener Potemkin Village? Corporate Social Responsibility and the Limits of Growth'. ''Captalism Nature Socialism''. Volume 18, Number 2. June 2007.</ref>. According to Enoch, this gives the impression of companies as acting responsibly, whilst behind the scenes they continue with business as usual. Such measures of corporate social responsibility have also been criticized as being little more than a PR exercise as companies are not driven by concern for people and communities, but by their own reputations<ref>Christian Aid (2004) ''Behind the Mask: the real face of corporate social responsibility''. Christian Aid Publications</ref>. Businesses are commercial entities acting in the pursuit of profit. Currently law states that actions must be in the best interests of their shareholders, in other words to maximise their returns. Their primary interests must be 'shareholder value and profit projections, not justice, equity or morality'<ref>Hertz, N. (2001) ''The Silent Takeover: Global Capitalism and the Death of Democracy'' Arrow Books</ref>. Initiatives such as membership of the UN Global Compact works to improve their bottom line as 'cause related marketing enhances corporate image, builds brands, generated PR and increases sales'<ref>Ibid</ref>, which has also been descibed as 'hypocritical window dressing'<ref>Bakan. J, (2005) ''The Corporation''. Constable & Robinson Ltd</ref>.
