Principles of High Road Employers

I stand with the American Sustainable Business Council to endorse* the following principles as the best practices of High Road Employers. A High Road Employer will:

1. Provide Family-friendly Benefits
2. Offer Flexibility
3. Pay a Livable and Fair Wage
4. Invest in Employee Growth and Development
5. Cultivate Inclusion
6. Govern Fairly and Transparently
7. Engage with Communities
8. Manage the Supply Chain Responsibly
9. Drive Environmental Sustainability
10. Promote Health and Safety

*These principles are both practical and aspirational. By endorsing them businesses agree that 1) these principles represent the best practices of High Road Employers; 2) they currently practice more than one of the best practices outlined; and 3) they intend to adopt more of these practices in the future as their business model and policy changes allow.
