Driving corporate sustainabilty performance and leadership

Since 2000, the United Nations Global Compact has called on companies to strategically address environmental, social and governance issues in their operations, in the belief that responsible business actions can underpin economies with core values that are essential for building trust in markets, driving growth and spurring development. For a decade, leaders around the globe have responded to our message and committed to advance principles in the areas of human rights, labour, environment and anti-corruption into business practices. Today, the Global Compact is the world’s largest corporate sustainability initiative, with over 8,000 signatories – 6,000 corporate and 2,000 non-business stakeholders – in 140 countries.
