The idea for Global Compact was first presented by the General Secretary of the United Nations, Kofi Annan, in a speech at the World Economic Forum on 31 January 1999. One year later, the idea was realised. The General Secretary invited companies to take part in an international initiative – the Global Compact – which would bring representatives of the private sector together with the infrastructures of the United Nations, jobholders and civil society, in order to cultivate the establishment of a set of universal social and environmental principles.
The goal of the Global Compact is to encourage the social engagement of companies through the power of negotiation – so that the economy can become a part of the solution when it comes to meeting the challenges of globalisation. In this way, the private sector can contribute to the General Secretary's vision of the realisation of a fair and sustainable world economy through collaboration with other social stakeholders.
Today, businesses from all regions of the world, international workers' unions and organisations of civil society alike are taking part in the Global Compact. united communications has been a part of the initiative since February 2008.
