United Nations Global Compact :
At the World Economic Forum, Davos, on 31 January 1999, UN Secretary-General Kofi A. Annan challenged world business leaders to "embrace and enact" the Global Compact, both in their individual corporate practices and by supporting appropriate public policies. The Global Compact's operational phase was launched at UN Headquarters in New York on 26 July 2000.
EnvirUP is proud to support the ten principles of the United Nations Global Compact. |
