in accordance with the principles of equality, impartiality, and voluntary compliance.
"Voluntariness" is an awkward English term in this context. In terms of legal contracts, I believe "willingness" would serve better here. Otherwise, I'd go with "voluntary compliance" or "voluntary adherence."

in accordance with the principles of equality, impartiality, and volunteerism
vol·un·teer·ism: Use of or reliance on volunteers, especially to perform social or educational work in communities.
Since this is a PRC slogan, I believe its important to cite like sources in English that reference these terms.

If you really don't like the word "volunteerism," you could also use "free will," but for heaven's sake, do not use "voluntariness."

Example sentence:
Lei Feng remains the model for volunteerism and charity in China today. (The Culture of Service and Volunteering in Chinese Society Today)
The WWP claims donations and volunteerism as the source of its funding and operational resources.

Hualong Jiang
: In a contract which requires the free exercise of one's will, there is no volunteers for communities at all. Both parties's intention is to make money, so you can see why contract parties can never be regarded as living Lei Feng's :).

You make a good point, but I still believe "volunteerism" is an appropriate translation in this case. The whole idea is that they are applying old party principles to current business contracts.

I stand corrected. I'm glad a another native English speaker brought it to my attention, though I still don't believe it to be a good word choice.
