How to Join the Global Compact
To join the United Nations Global Compact, a company:
- Prepares a
Letter

Secretary-General of the United Nations expressing support for the Global Compact and its
principles;
- Completes the online
Organization
Registration Form and submits the Letter of Commitment to the Secretary-General.

As a participant, a company:
- Sets in motion changes to business operations so that the Global Compact and its principles
become part of strategy, culture and day-to-day operations;
- Is expected to publicly advocate the Global Compact and its principles via communications
vehicles such as press releases, speeches, etc; and
- Is required to annually
communicate on progress in implementing the ten UN Global
Compact principles through a public corporate report (e.g., sustainability or annual
report).
Global Compact Policy on Micro EnterprisesDue to administrative constraints, companies
with
less than ten direct employees (micro-enterprises) will not be entered into the database of
participating companies. However, we encourage micro enterprises to stay informed about all Global
Compact activities via this website and to engage with their
Global Compact Local Network.
