Why are we Committed to the UN Sustainable Development Goals?

In September of 2015, the United Nations convened world leaders at a summit in New York City to make history. All 193 members of the United Nations committed to working together to fulfill 17 global goals that serve as a blueprint and roadmap for the entire planet. The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) provide the framework for a 15-year plan for humanity to come together in addressing the world’s most pressing challenges. Our community is dedicated to helping achieve the Sustainable Development Goals by 2030. Learn More about our SDG small business reporting tool.

The Ten Principles of the UN Global Compact

“Corporate sustainability starts with a company’s value system and a principles-based approach to doing business. This means operating in ways that, at a minimum, meet fundamental responsibilities in the areas of human rights, labour, environment and anti-corruption. Responsible businesses enact the same values and principles wherever they have a presence, and know that good practices in one area do not offset harm in another. By incorporating the Ten Principles of the UN Global Compact into strategies, policies and procedures, and establishing a culture of integrity, companies are not only upholding their basic responsibilities to people and planet, but also setting the stage for long-term success.

The Ten Principles of the United Nations Global Compact are derived from: the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the International Labour Organization’s Declaration on Fundamental Principles and Rights at Work, the Rio Declaration on Environment and Development, and the United Nations Convention Against Corruption.” United Nations Global Compact
