United Nations Procurement and the Global Compact UN agencies, in cooperation with their suppliers, are increasingly trying to ‘buy for a better world’. They are looking beyond traditional economic parameters to make decisions based on life-cycle costs and associated environmental and social implications, to help producers - especially in the developing world - become more efficient and competitive in larger markets. For the third year, the ong>Annualong> ong>Statisticalong> ong>Reportong> ong>2009ong> features an analysis of the participation of UN suppliers in the world’s largest global corporate citizenship initiative, the Global Compact. • In 1999, the United Nations Secretary General Kofi Annan challenged the business leaders gathered at the World Economic Forum in Davos to develop greater social and environmental responsibility in their business activities. He offered them a new compact of shared values and principles, to give a human face to the global market: the Global Compact. • The Global Compact is a framework for businesses that are committed to aligning their operations and strategies with ten universally accepted principles in the areas of human rights, labour, the environment and anti-corruption. As the world’s largest global corporate citizenship initiative, the Global Compact is a voluntary scheme, a learning dialogue and a platform for action.
