This year, we are marking a pivotal milestone: the 25th anniversary of the UN Global Compact. Launched in 2000 by then Secretary-General Kofi Annan, what began as a bold vision to align business with universal principles has grown into the world’s largest corporate sustainability initiative, mobilizing more than 20,000 companies across 160 countries. Our journey is far from over. The legacy of hope, innovation and action that has defined the UN Global Compact continues to drive change worldwide.
