21st Century Pledge
In 2012, CPR released the 21st Century Pledge© committing companies to a more, systemic approach to dispute resolution that emphasized the development of processes and resources to better institutionalize ADR. Importantly, the signatories to this pledge committed to doing this unilaterally – pledging to seek ways to avoid litigation regardless of whether the opposing party has done so as well.
Pledge text:
"Our company pledges to commit its resources to manage and resolve disputes through negotiation, mediation and other ADR processes when appropriate, with a view to establishing and practicing global, sustainable dispute management and resolution processes."
