UN Global Compact Network

To encourage greater environmental responsibility, UN Global Compact Network India has partnered with several Indian businesses and created several programs to encourage corporate stewardship and ethical business practices both locally and nationally. Our work helps private businesses take action to ensure a resilient future in addition to helping them include sustainability into their strategy. Our mission in this Decade of Action is to assist companies in increasing their contribution towards the ambitious targets outlined in the Paris Agreement and the Sustainable Development Goals.

Human rights, fair labour standards, living circumstances, health and safety, empowerment, community involvement, and young skill development are the fundamental tenets of social sustainability.

Human rights are the cornerstone of the first six UN Global Compact principles, which centre on the social aspect of corporate sustainability. Specific groups are the focus of our social sustainability work: children's rights, decent work, gender equality, and women's empowerment.
