"I was struck by the tremendous disparities in social protection from one country to another. Yet L’Oréal must ensure security and protection so that each employee can work in total confidence wherever they are."

"We are very happy to have started a collaboration with the research department of the ILO that helps us evaluate our Share and Care Program. We are convinced that this partnership is a win win exercise. We are happy to share our experience on how international companies are developing social protection. At the same time, the ILO research expertise allows us to measure the impacts of our programs and improve our policies worldwide."

"Social protection is so important to us because it allows us to collaborate with the countries and communities where we operate. For example, starting from 2015, with the support of the ILO, we granted 14 weeks of maternity leave to all the women in all the countries where ENI operates. And we did not stop there. This year, we also granted working fathers ten working days for paternity leave. These procedures aim to give equal rights to women and men in sharing child care responsibilities."

"We believe that the Global Business Network is a great opportunity for countries and companies because sometimes, multinationals can have a positive impact on national laws through their internal regulations. In this way, multinationals can contribute to the public social security system, especially in developing countries."

"We have operations in different countries which means that we have the responsibility to provide fair employment conditions through benefits and social protection to all our employees, taking into consideration the specificities of these different countries."

"As an educational institution sponsored by Geely group, we are really honoured to make a commitment with the ILO in raising the level of awareness among enterprises on social protection, and we hope to support them in identifying the benefits of social security programmes. As a research institution, we have the data, the resources and the people to support the ILO with further research"

"Social protection is an important area of work for Danone. Our mission is to instil good health through food and nutrition for as many people as possible and we are convinced that offering social protection is consistent with this mission."

"As a part of the SDGs, social protection is not only important for social development but also makes a sense from a business perspective. By joining this network, we hope to create a multiplying effect that could bring positive change to all."

"As a global company, our duty of care towards our employees takes us beyond national practices when they are not at the expected level. The Global Business Network is important for us to share knowledge on social protection and to foster new ideas in the development of adequate measures throughout the world."

"The Auchan foundation aims at improving working conditions of vulnerable workers in developing countries. For that matter, we are happy to support and participate in experimental projects that raise awareness on the importance of social protection. We partnered with the ILO on a programme in Cambodia because we believe it is important to join experiences and competences to build the culture of social protection around the globe."
