Among others, these ten principles include:
- Principle 3: Businesses should uphold the freedom of association and the effective recognition of the right to collective bargaining;
- Principle 8: undertake initiatives to promote greater environmental responsibility; and
- Principle 9: encourage the development and diffusion of environmentally friendly technologies.

The first Georgian wine company to join Global Compact was Teliani Valley in 2007, but in 2012 it was de-listed "due to failure to communicate progress". In total, 51 Georgian companies and non-profits have joined the UN initiative.
