The Global pact

By embracing the 10 principles of the UN’s Global Compact, ACOME is making a commitment to supporting a set of fundamental values in all its practices: human rights, labour, environmental protection, the battle against corruption, etc. This daily involvement benefits everyone concerned.

   

What is the Global Compact?

The Global Compact is an initiative launched in 1999 by the former Secretary General of the United Nations, Kofi Annan. This new charter was launched in 2000, in New York. Its signatories (companies, UN organisations, workers’ associations and non-governmental organisations) make a commitment to adhere to the 10 main principles concerning human rights, labour, and the environment.
