THE LARGEST VOLUNTEER INITIATIVE OF CORPORATE SUSTAINABILITY IN THE WORLD!
Amachains has just joined the UN Global Compact in Brazil, a United Nations (UN) initiative to mobilize the business community to adopt and promote, in their business practices, Ten Universally Accepted Principles in the areas of human rights, labor, environment and combating corruption. With the creation of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), the Global Compact also took on the mission of engaging the private sector in this new agenda.
A special initiative of the UN Secretary-General, the UN Global Compact is a call for businesses worldwide to align their operations and strategies with ten universal principles in the areas of human rights, labor, environment and anti-corruption. Launched in 2000, the Global Compact guides and supports the global business community in advancing the goals and values of the UN through responsible business practices. With more than 16,000 companies and nearly 4,000 non-business organizations in 70 local networks spanning nearly 170 countries, it is the world’s largest corporate sustainability initiative.

By joining the Global Compact, we are committed to reporting annually on our progress in relation to the Ten Principles. In this way, the initiative encourages the constant evolution of internal sustainability practices. Companies that wish to participate can find more information at www.pactoglobal.org.br
