Global Compact
United Nations Secretary-General Kofi
Annan first proposed the Global Compact
in an address to the World Economic
Forum on 31 January 1999. The Global
Compact’s operational phase was
launched at UN Headquarters in New
York on 26 July 2000. The Secretary-
General invited business leaders to join
an international initiative — the Global
Compact — that would bring companies
together with UN agencies, labour and
civil society to advance universal social
and environmental principles.
