Uniapac in brief

	UNIAPAC is a federation of associations, an international meeting place for Christian Business Leaders. Its goal is to promote, in the light of the Christian Social Teachings, a vision and a deployment of Corporate Social Responsibility serving people and the common good of the World.

UNIAPAC was born in 1931 as “Conférences Internationales des Associations de Patrons Catholiques", between federations of Dutch, Belgian and French Catholic Employers (and with observers from Italy, Germany and Czechoslovakia), on the occasion of the 40 th anniversary of the Encyclical “Rerum Novarum” in Rome. After World War II, UNIAPAC enlarged to other European countries and to Latin-American Countries and changed its first name for, in French, ‘ UNion Internationale des Associations PAtronales Catholiques', with the initials UNIAPAC ( 1949 ). In 1962 , UNIAPAC becomes an ecumenical association under the new denomination "International Christian Union of Business Executives" , conserving its initials. By the same time, UNIAPAC gains members in Asia and in Africa.

Today , UNIAPAC welcomes member associations and individual members or companies from worldwide (with a larger presence in Europe and Latin-America).

Editorial

A Year-long work, with the active participation of 48 persons from 17 countries, led to a 120 pages document titled : "The Profit of Values :
a Christian Vision on CSR, a Form of Management for Long-Lasting Successful Businesses".

This document wishes to express the common basis of our member Associations from 4 continents.
It is moreover a staring tool for actually implementing a business culture respecting the person towards the Common Good.

In order to help the companies to evaluate performance in terms of CSR values and principles stated in the document “The Profit of Values”, UNIAPAC has elaborated a CSR Protocol which is a practical methodology that looks at CSR as an “inner force” that encourages organizations to live and apply these values. This protocol is the result of the experience and reflection of UNIAPAC members from a wide variety of cultures and environments who work to create very profitable, fully humane and socially responsible corporations . It is available in Spanish, English and French.
