Local Networks
Global Compact Local Networks are organized at the national level by participants who come together voluntarily to advance the UN Global Compact and its principles locally.Local Networks serve an essential role in rooting the Global Compact within different national contexts and their distinct economic, cultural and linguistic needs. Participation in a Local Network provides companies the opportunity to engage with a variety of stakeholders, including other businesses and representatives from civil society, government, academia, business associations and investors.
Local Networks provide an important base for jump-starting business action and awareness on the ground. All Global Compact companies are encouraged to participate in their Local Network, and, where relevant, to facilitate engagement by their subsidiaries in networks as well. For all companies, the Local Networks are the perfect conduit for thinking globally and acting locally.
