Why they are public
Policies you can read, not just claims
GPM publishes its policies in full on this site. Each one names who it applies to, what GPM commits to, and when it was last updated. They apply to GPM staff, Ambassadors, Accredited Training Partners, suppliers and certificate holders, and they reflect the Ten Principles of the UN Global Compact, which GPM joined in 2013.
