With this action, Tatweer affirms its commitment to the ten principles of the Global Compact in respect to human rights, labor standards, environment, and anti-corruption within its sphere of influence.
On signing the Global Compact, Saeed Al Muntafiq, Executive Chairman of Tatweer said: 'Tatweer is proud to be a part of the United Nations Global Compact. This reflects our commitment to being a responsible business operator. The Global Compact provides an excellent forum for Tatweer to share knowledge and best practice with its peers and we look forward to participating in this international initiative and particularly in the local GCC network.'
The Global Compact has more than 4,000 members in over 120 countries. Though not a regulatory instrument, the Global Compact upholds public accountability and transparency. It relies on the collective cooperation of companies, labor and civil society to initiate and share substantive action in pursuing the principles on which the Global Compact is founded.
Commenting on Tatweer's signing of the Global Compact, Habiba Marashi, Board Member UN Global Compact and Chairperson of the Emirates Environmental Group said: 'It is very encouraging to have Tatweer join the United Nations Global Compact. Tatweer's participation will bring a more cohesive approach to Corporate Responsibility, extend the United Nations global reach, and play an extremely crucial role in shaping a sustainable future for the region.'
