AGA joins United Nations Global Compact to advance Sustainable Development Goals
19 September 2024
Global multidisciplinary alliance Alliott Global Alliance (AGA) is pleased to announce that it has joined the United Nations Global Compact and the UN Global Compact Network UK, a voluntary leadership platform for the development, implementation, and disclosure of responsible business practices.
With this announcement, AGA is proud to join thousands of other companies globally and in the UK, committed to taking responsible business action to create the world we all want.
The UN Global Compact is a call to companies everywhere to align their operations and strategies with ten universally accepted principles in the areas of human rights, labour,
environment, and anti-corruption, and to act in support of UN goals and issues embodied in the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
Steve Kenzie, Executive Director at UN Global Compact Network UK commented:
"The core of the United Nations Global Compact’s mission is to support companies doing business responsibly by aligning their strategies and operations with ten universal principles on human rights, labour, environment, and anti-corruption.
“We also support businesses taking actions to advance the Sustainable Development Goals. We are delighted and encouraged by Alliott Global Alliance’s endorsement of our initiative.”
Giles Brake, CEO of Alliott Global Alliance added:
“AGA has a proud history of driving positive change and contributing to a more sustainable future for the world. Joining the UN Global Compact aligns with our values and commits us formally to ten key principles that will drive us towards achieving our sustainable development goals across the business and across the world.”
