BELFAST-based trade and investment specialist, OCO Global, has been accepted onto the UN Global Compact, a movement of international companies committed to driving corporate sustainability.
The UN Global Compact was established to encourage business worldwide to adopt sustainable and socially responsible practices, aligning international companies based on a framework of core principles which guide environmental, civic and governance policies.
The programme draws on a range of treaties and documents such as the UN Declaration of Human Rights and the UN sustainable development goals.
OCO Global’s commercial director, Gareth Hagan, said: “With the privileged role we play working with governments, trade and investment agencies and companies globally, we not only see the opportunity to positively influence corporate practices but, consider it incumbent on us to share best and emerging practices.
“It is through a committed and collaborative approach that all who operate within the corporate environment can help to make the changes which are so important to our society.”
