■The United Nations Global Compact

It is an international initiative that was launched at UN headquarters in July 2000.  With the rapid progress of globalization in the world and the increasing number of issues that are difficult to solve by national governments and international organizations alone, the program was launched to encourage companies to take proactive and voluntary initiatives to solve social issues such as “protection of the environment” and “elimination of social discrimination”.  By signing it, the chief executive officer of a company expresses his/her endorsement and direction of the ten principles of the UN Global Compact and is required to put them into practice on an ongoing basis.  Signatory companies must report annually to UNGC on their practices and achievements in the ten principles.

As of September 10, 23,028 companies and organizations worldwide have joined the UN Global Compact.  In Japan, 568 companies and organizations have joined the Global Compact Network Japan.
