| Summary |
This occasional paper is concerned with the Corporate Covenant, a component of the Armed Forces Covenant (AFC) which was intended to be revitalised by the Armed Forces Act 2011. This legally obliged the government to report annually on the progress of the implementation and health of the special relationship between the military and the government and the military and broader society. The AFC is therefore a tripartite arrangement, founded on the premise that, in addition to the government, the nation as a whole has a moral obligation to members of the armed forces, past and present, and their families. The Corporate Covenant is a formal and documented pledge from a commercial organisation (or equivalent) to the armed forces community and wider society. That pledge is lodged with the Ministry of Defence (MoD) and commits the company in question to the purposes and intent of the AFC. Specifically, the company agrees to undertake certain actions and initiatives as contained within its bespoke pledge |
