    Once again at Ocean Emerald Pearl Group Ltd., we strive to be a part of UN Global Compact initiative and proud to be a partner for the 4th year. One of our 2015 missions is to continue respect and promote Environmental sustainability throughout our organization and with our business partners. Thanks to our UN local representatives we have had a better participation last year in many activities; meetings, presentations and education programs.
