Accelerators

The United Nations Global Compact is leading Accelerators to embed SDG-aligned practices deep into business operations and across the value chain to accelerate progress and impact for the 2030 Agenda.

Available to participating companies of the UN Global Compact, the Accelerators are run in close collaboration with Global Compact Local Networks and are designed with a view to generating behavior change across a large number of companies at the local level - achieving maximum impact and scale.

  • Increase employee engagement and professional development opportunities
  • Build a professional network of peers, UN partners and experts
