THE UN GLOBAL COMPACT

It was 20 years ago that Kofi Anan created the global compact when he reached out and asked business leaders and the United Nations to create a compact of shared values and principles, which is essentially what The Global Compact is.


Initially, forty companies worked with the UN, creating this set of principles, all built out of UN conventions and declarations. They are our principles and cover Human Rights, Labour, the Environment and Anti-Corruption.


There are now over 20,000 companies and 3000 non-business partnership partners from 168 countries working together to run their businesses according to these principles to deliver some clear time-bound goals: The Sustainable Development Goals.


We now have a clear plan for the world, well defined by these goals. These are our KPIs, and more and more businesses are working towards those principles to create the world we all want to live in by 2030.

UN Standards of Conduct For Business Tackling Discrimination Against LGBTI People 

Violence and discrimination against lesbian, gay, bi, trans and intersex (LGBTI) people cannot be ended by governments alone. Businesses can foster diversity and promote a culture of respect and equality both in the workplace and the communities where they and their business partners operate.  


The United Nations is calling on companies all over the world-big small, local and multinational- to help move the dial toward greater equality for LGBTI people.


 Our Commitment.

S29 Consultancy supports the Standards of Conduct for Business Tackling Discrimination against Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Trans, and Intersex People (the Standards) put forth by the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR). 


We take pride in treating our employees fairly and lawfully, including health and safety, and we have high ethical standards of honesty, fairness, and integrity. Our company policy on respecting and supporting Human Rights is stated within our code of conduct in the staff handbook.  


WOMEN EMPOWERMENT PRINCIPLES

 WOMEN'S EMPOWERMENT PRINCIPLES

The Women's Empowerment Principles (WEPs) are a set of Principles offering guidance to businesses on how to promote gender equality and women's empowerment in the workplace, marketplace and community. Established by UN Global Compact and UN Women, the WEPs are informed by international labour and human rights standards and grounded in recognising that businesses have a stake in, and responsibility for, gender equality and women's empowerment.

 Our Commitment

As a member of the UN Global Compact since 2021, we are passionate advocates of Equality, Inclusion and Diversity, including gender equality. However, if we continue with the same trajectory, we are working on; it will take 256 years to close the economic gender gap. We have ten years to keep on track to deliver the UN Global Compact's sustainable development goals.


By joining the Women's Empowerment Principles, S29 Consultancy shows our dedication to raising ambition and working faster to achieve this goal.
