The UN Global Compact Network Australia (UNGCNA) Young Professionals (YP) Network aims to bring together young professionals working in UN Global Compact participant organisations to grow their networks and upskill them in various areas of sustainability.
This new initiative will bring together emerging leaders to build meaningful cross-sector connections and grow their capabilities in corporate sustainability, responsible business, and leadership in the future.
Through a mix of in-person and virtual engagements, the YP Network will offer insights from sustainability leaders, and opportunities for participation in UNGCNA events.
The network will serve as a dynamic platform to connect, inspire, and empower the next generation of responsible business leaders, highlighting the importance of youth engagement in advancing the Ten Principles of the UN Global Compact and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
