Catalyst for Change.
We’re mobilising Australia’s leading businesses to create a sustainable future and find opportunities to impact our world – for good.
How we do it
We’re mobilising Australian businesses to create a shared sustainable future. We do this by:
-
Leading
The UN Global Compact is the world’s largest corporate sustainability initiative — transforming businesses and raising ambitions towards the achievement of societal goals.
-
Enabling
Our members trust us to provide a principles-based framework that builds capacity to change, empowers leaders to act and enables businesses to thrive.
-
Connecting
We join the dots on universal principles such as human rights, labour, environment and anti-corruption; uniting businesses so that they may learn, share and transform commitment into action.
