Annual Letter 2023 - CEO UN Global Compact

Sanda Ojiambo, Deputy Secretary of the UN, CEO and Executive Director of the Global Compact, made a clear call to companies at the beginning of 2023: 


There are many challenges that we face as 2023 begins. There is no doubt that we live in a fragile and fractured world. The war in Ukraine, the energy and food crisis, climate change, extreme weather events, threats to democracy , the ongoing pandemic, and many other headwinds, including inflation, currency fluctuations, and the risk of recession, hamper our efforts to build a more sustainable world. 


These are global challenges that we must face together. We must work together to turn the tide back and we can get back on track for progress. The solutions are within everyone's reach if we take advantage of the opportunities that are presented to us to continue contributing to the construction of a more sustainable and inclusive world .
