The UN Global Compact Network Ghana

UN Global Compact Network Ghana is a special initiative by former UN Secretary General Kofi Annan, mandated to assist businesses in aligning with the Ten Principles of the UN Global Compact and achieving the Sustainable Development Goals.

We promote sustainable practices among Ghanaian businesses and provide training and capacity building in the key areas of Human rights, Labor, Environment, and Anti-Corruption by providing access to tools and benchmarking resources, guidance on sustainable reporting, facilitate accelerator modules on key sustainability topics and a platform for engagement through events and dialogues.

The Ten Principles of the UN Global Compact

These set of core values are derived from the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the International Labour Organization’s Declaration on Fundamental Principles and Rights at Work, the Rio Declaration on Environment and Development, and the United Nations Convention Against Corruption.
