Grouphorse in the News
Grouphorse was officially approved to join the United Nations Global Compact (UNGC) at UN headquarters on April 10, making itself the second Chinese member of the UNGC.
The UNGC is the world’s largest corporate sustainability initiative that mobilizes companies to align strategies and operations with ten universal principles on human rights, labor, environment and anti-corruption, while taking actions that advance societal goals.
The UNGC was announced by former UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan at the World Economic Forum in 1999 and was officially launched at UN Headquarters in New York in July 2000.
“The Global Compact asks companies to adopt universal principles and to partner with the United Nations. It has become a major platform for the UN in establishing effective relationships with leading global companies,” said Ban Ki-moon, then Secretary-General of the UN.
