UNGC

Corporate sustainability starts with a company’s value system and a principles-based approach to doing business.

By incorporating the Ten Principles of the UN Global Compact into strategies, policies and procedures, and establishing a culture of integrity, companies are not only upholding their basic responsibilities to people and planet, but also setting the stage for long-term success.

The GCNC assists Canadian businesses to embrace, support, and enact a set of core principles in the areas of human rights, labour, the environment, and anti-corruption.

How to report on the 10 Principles?

The UN Global Compact requires participating companies to produce an annual Communication on Progress (COP) that details their work to embed the Ten Principles into their strategies and operations, as well as efforts to support societal priorities.

Learn more about the COP/COE

Who is aligning with the 10 Principles?

There are over 9000 businesses and 3000 non-businesses in over 160 countries who are currently aligning with the 10 Universal Principles of the UN Global Compact.
