Why join a Global Compact Local Network?

Global Compact Local Networks are business-led, multi-stakeholder platforms that work directly with businesses to help them implement the Ten Principles of the UN Global Compact and advance the Sustainable Development Goals. Thanks to their local and regional expertise, Local Networks are uniquely positioned to help companies understand what responsible business means within different national, cultural and language contexts.

Global Compact Local Networks support both local firms and subsidiaries of multinational corporations in implementing the UN Global Compact Ten Principles and meeting the annual reporting requirement. Local Network activities are based on local priorities and needs. They range from corporate sustainability seminars, reporting trainings, issue-specific workshops, country-based consultations and policy dialogue to collective action projects, partnerships, networking events, local newsletters and awards.
