The UN Global Compact

The UN Global Compact is a voluntary initiative launched by the United Nations to encourage businesses worldwide to adopt sustainable and socially responsible practices. It involves companies committing to ten principles covering areas such as human rights, labor standards, environmental sustainability, and anti-corruption. By joining, businesses align their operations with global goals, such as improving working conditions, protecting the environment, and promoting fair practices. The Global Compact fosters collaboration among companies, governments, and civil society to create a more sustainable and inclusive global economy. It serves as a platform for sharing knowledge and best practices in responsible business.
