The UN Global Compact presents a unique strategic platform for participants to advance their commitments to sustainability and corporate citizenship. Structured as a public-private initiative, the Global Compact project offers a policy framework for the development, implementation, and disclosure of sustainability principles and practices related to its four core areas: Human Rights, Labour, the Environment, and Anti-Corruption.
"We need business to give practical meaning and reach to the values and principles that connect cultures and people everywhere."
- Ban Ki-Moon, Secretary-General of the United Nations
“The privilege, particularly in this project, is working with UNDP. It is a model for partnership between government organizations and the private sector. The principal is we want governments to join hands—in real partnership—with the business community and not just look at it as an observer.”
-Talal Abu-Ghazaleh, Deputy Chairperson of the UN Global Compact
