AMAPOLA JOINS THE UN GLOBAL COMPACT!

14 Mar, 2024

Amapola ha aderito all'UN Global Compact

Supportare il network ci permette di mettere a sistema il nostro agire sui temi di sostenibilità.

The need to keep up with the latest changes in sustainability and to do so at a global level in order to guide clients and partners on their development and reporting journeys are the reasons that led us to join the UN Global Compact, the world’s most extensive corporate strategic sustainability initiative. An important network, whose values and objectives we share, to which we hope to make our own active contribution.

The Global Compact currently has more than 20,000 business participants from 160 countries, including 510 Italian organisations. The members of the UNGC undertake to make continuous progress on the Ten Principles of the UN Global Compact relating to human rights, labour, environment and anti-corruption, and on the United Nations’ 17 Sustainable Development Goals.

“Joining the UN Global Compact gives us the opportunity to exchange views with partners of excellence in an international setting and to continue strengthening our total commitment to sustainability. Amapola identifies completely with the UN Global Compact’s Ten Principles,” comments agency founder Luca Valpreda.
