The Triple Bottom Line (Sustainability)

UN Centre on Transnational Corporations (UNCTC) - [From 1977 to 1993 the United Nations Centre on Transnational Corporations (UNCTC) undertook a vigorous research programme on transnational corporations, worked on policy responses to South African investment, environment, and corporate standards, and advised developing and transition countries on foreign direct investment matters. In 1993 UNCTC was disbanded. Now a group of former UNCTC staff are creating a website to make more accessible the reports and studies prepared by the Center.]
