From principles to action
From principles to action
Founded by then Secretary-General Kofi Annan, the United Nations Global Compact is a special initiative of the Executive Office of the Secretary-General and the world’s largest corporate sustainability initiative.
The United Nations Global Compact is a call to companies to align strategies and operations with Ten Principles on human rights, labor, environment and anti-corruption, and take actions that advance societal goals — including the Sustainable Development Goals.
We provide a principle-based framework, best practices, resources and networking events that have revolutionized how companies do business responsibly and keep commitments to society. By catalyzing action, partnerships and collaboration, we make transforming the world possible – and achievable – for organizations large and small, anywhere around the globe.
