What is the UN Global Compact?

It is the world’s leading corporate sustainability initiative, bringing together companies from all over the world to align their strategies and operations in the areas of human rights, labor, the environment and anti-corruption, as well as developing actions that contribute to tackling society’s challenges. The UN Global Compact was conceived in 2000 by the UN Secretary General at the time, Kofi Annan.

The Global Compact is not a regulatory instrument, a mandatory code of conduct or a forum for policing management policies and practices. It is a voluntary initiative that provides guidelines for promoting sustainable growth and citizenship through committed and innovative corporate leadership.
