OUR VISION
The world needs business leadership that is bold, credible, and grounded in action. The UN Global Compact Strategy 2026 - 2030 is our answer to that call.

THREE STRATEGIC FOCUS AREAS
EQUIP Companies to Act
The UN Global Compact provides a digitally accessible learning journey, equipping businesses with customized tools and guidance to embed the Ten Principles into core operations and contribute to the SDGs, driving credible, ambitious action at scale.
