Global Impact Initiatives

Global business engagement with local activation to generate corporate behavioral change and outcomes at scale to achieve the SDGs

Global Impact Initiatives

The United Nations Global Compact is leading global-local impact initiatives to embed SDG-aligned practices deep into business operations and across the value chain to accelerate progress and impact for the 2030 Agenda.

Available to participating companies of the UN Global Compact, Global Impact Initiatives are run in close collaboration with Global Compact Local Networks and are designed with a view to generating behavior change across a large number of companies at the local level - achieving maximum impact and scale.

Companies participating in the Global Impact Initiatives will:

  • Learn from thought leadership content, best practices and resources
  • Access a diverse set of global and local engagement opportunities such as awareness-raising campaigns, trainings, mentoring and blended learning
  • Increase employee engagement and professional development opportunities
  • Build a professional network of peers, UN partners and experts
  • Accelerate the integration of the SDGs and Ten Principles into your company’s business strategy and operations
  • Deliver concrete company-specific outcomes
