United Nations and PBwiki Partner to Provide Global Platform for Corporate Responsibility
San Bruno, CA, April 24, 2007 – San Bruno, CA, April 20, 2007 - PBwiki (http://pbwiki.com), the world's largest provider of wiki software and hosting, has entered into a globally significant partnership with the United Nations. PBwiki is working with the U.N. on their Global Compact (http://www.unglobalcompact.org/).
The Global Compact is a collaborative initiative to create a worldwide corporate responsibility agreement. Stakeholders include:
- 4,000 companies
- 700 organizations
- 100 countries
PBwiki is providing the means for collaboration (http://globalcompact.pbwiki.com/) of the disparate signatories of the Global Compact. Using PBwiki they are collaboratively authoring their guiding policy document, discussing issues of importance and nominating good corporate citizens and to create case studies for discussion. One important element of the Global Compact is the “Communication on Progress,” a fully searchable database of reports by Compact participants on how they are implementing transparency and accountability. This undertaking is one that is being conducted via a PBwiki. Over 2,000 reports have been reviewed and tagged on the wiki.
