Overview of the United Nations Global Compact

The UN Global Compact was first announced by the 

UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan in an address to The World Economic Forum on January 31, 1999, and was officially launched at UN Headquarters in New York on July 26, 2000. It is a worldwide initiative to encourage businesses and entities to take leadership in a responsible and creative manner, and to demonstrate good corporate citizenship in order to realize sustainable growth.

Along with the personal commitments of the chief executives, the businesses and entities that support the UN Global Compact are expected to sustain their efforts for substantiation of the ten principles in the areas of human rights, elimination of corrupt labor, environmental efforts, and anti-corruption.
