TAKE ACTION
Choose your 2018 Engagement Tier: Will your Company Become a Participant or Signatory?
Starting in January 2018, the UN Global Compact will offer two distinct engagement tiers to suit your company’s needs: Participant or Signatory. In order to engage in either tier and remain an active Participant or Signatory of the UN Global Compact, we ask larger companies to make a required annual financial contribution, based on their company’s annual gross revenue/sales.
Invest in Sustainable Development
Companies and investors are increasingly working together to address major global challenges. The adoption of environmental, social and governance (ESG) considerations in private investments is evolving from a risk management practice to a driver of innovation and new opportunities that create long-term value for business and society.
Join the Business for Humanitarian Action Platform
Over 80 per cent of humanitarian crises are now linked to conflict. Due to the scale, complexity, duration and recurring nature of today’s humanitarian crises, we need a coordinated effort with Government, the UN, civil society and business working together. Explore opportunities and create innovative solutions to support conflict-affected people.
Set Science-Based Emission Reduction Targets
If your company has taken steps to set ambitious climate goals, you are already on your way toward promoting a more sustainable future. Use science-based target setting to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and limit global warming to less than 2º C.
