The United Nations Global Compactis a call to companies and organizations to align their strategies and operations with the Ten Universal Principles on human rights, labor standards, the environment and the fight against corruption. It is mandated by the UN to promote the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in the private sector.
Since May 2021, Grupo Marco, the business group whom PROMINDSAis part of, has joined to the Global Compact, which expresses our commitment to their ten principles:
- Principle 1:Companies must support and respect the protection of fundamental human rights, recognized internationally, within their sphere of influence
