The Global Sullivan Principles
of Social Responsibility is a code of conduct, developed
by the late Rev. Leon H. Sullivan, built on a vision of
aspiration and inclusion. The Principles are inclusive
in that they embrace businesses' existing codes of
conduct and work in conjunction with them. The
aspiration of the Principles is to have companies and
organizations of all sizes, in widely disparate
industries and cultures, working toward the common goals
of human rights, social justice and economic
opportunity. These Principles are truly unique; they
apply to all workers, in all industries, in all
countries.

The Summit as an
organization, and as an institution, has gained
significant knowledge and experience from the past six
Summits which were convened in Abidjan (Cote d'lvoire),
Libreville (Gabon), Dakar (Senegal, Harare (Zimbabwe), Accra (Ghana),
and Abuja (Nigeria). Through the Summit, African heads of
state, and other Summit participants have sought to
build recognition among American and other business
stakeholders in Africa recognizing that the preservation
and the development of the continent requires education,
business development, investments and technical
assistance from Americans, African Americans, and the
rest of the developed world.
