Unocal is proud to be a supporting company and member of the Global Sullivan Principles Steering Committee. The Reverend Leon Sullivan was an acclaimed and accomplished civil rights leader and recipient of the Presidential Medal of Freedom. In conjunction with a number of multinational corporations and business associations, he developed an unprecedented set of corporate responsibility principles to promote business support for human rights, economic justice and a healthy environment. The values expressed by these principles set high standards that are aligned with Unocal's values and our own Guiding Principles for doing business.
The Global Sullivan Principles of Social Responsibility were presented on November 2, 1999, at the United Nations. Dr. Marina Whitman, a member of Unocal's Board of Directors and, at that time, chair of the company’s Board Corporate Responsibility Committee, represented Unocal at this historic ceremony.
