The UN Global Compact Network UK is part of the world’s largest responsible business initiative. We connect UK companies and other organisations in a global movement dedicated to driving sustainable growth. We promote practical sustainability leadership, share knowledge across sectors, and shape the business environment to create a world we want to live and do business in.

The UN Global Compact’s Ten Principles, rooted in UN treaties, provide a robust foundation from which we lead UK business action on the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Our mission is to turn global momentum on sustainability into practical local action.

Our strategic plan has three pillars:

• Inspiring business ambition to deliver the Global Goals

• Enabling practical action for sustainable business growth

• Shaping a responsible business environment
