Caux Round Table Mountain House Statement:
Posted: 2010/10/21
The Caux Round Table is "an international network of experienced business
leaders, who work with business and political leaders to design the
intellectual strategies, management tools and practices to strengthen
private enterprise and public governance to improve our global
community".
Formed
in the early 1980s, the Round Table has consistently aimed to
articulate a comprehensive statement of responsible business practice by
and for business leaders. These efforts produced the widely known CRT
Principles for Business (based on the previously developed Minnesota
Principles) in 1994. This work continues with the October 2010 release
of the Caux Round Table Mountain House Statement, “Repairing our
Stewardship of Creation: Abrahamic Social Thought and the Global
Economic Crisis”.
This document puts forward "a common position among
the Jewish, Christian, and Islamic traditions of social thought on sound
ethical values to be used in management of the global economy". The
statement aims to overcome divisiveness within these traditions by
focusing on shared practical resources for business and financial
management practices held commonly as Abrahamic religions.
