The B3 Leadership for Climate Change Principles are quoted below the link.

Mayor Newsom, United Nations Global Compact and Bay Area Council Form New Business Partnership for Climate Change:

"BC3 member companies pledge to address greenhouse emissions throughout their operations and corporate cultures, and agree to follow the BC3’s five Principles for Climate Leadership: Internal Implementation, Community Leadership, Advocacy and Dialogue, Collective Action, Transparency and Disclosure. BC3 provides expert information from Climate professionals to help member businesses achieve greenhouse gas reductions, which these businesses in turn share with other, similar businesses that join subsequently. BC3 operates with the support of local government; however, it asks the businesses themselves to be leaders in addressing environmental issues within their own professional communities.

“Voluntary initiatives such as the Business Council on Climate Change will be crucial in bringing about progressive and robust action on the global climate crisis,” said Georg Kell, Executive Director of the UN Global Compact. “At the same time, it is important to keep in mind that voluntary action cannot be a substitute for effective regulation – rather, it informs and complements regulation.”"
