Home / How to Participate / Non-Business Participation
Non-business participants are an integral to the UN Global Compact. They contribute much needed perspective and expertise that complements the efforts of business participants. Our non-business participants include entites such as civil society organizations, business associations, labour organizations, academic institutions and cities. Each offer knowledge and thought leadership in shaping special initiatives and workstreams; developing tools and research; setting international labour standards; furthering partnership projects; and helping to hold business accountable with respect to their commitments to the Global Compact and its ten principles.
This section of our website introduces the various categories of non-business entities and how each entity can participate in and engage with the Global Compact.
