The UN Global Compact in the MENA Region
Matthias Stausberg, United Nations Global CompactFor a few years after the Global Compact’s launch in 2000, the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) remained uncharted territory for the initiative. This changed in 2003, when the first efforts were undertaken to promote the Global Compact in Egypt. A high-level launch took place in Cairo in February 2004, resulting in the participation of more than 50 companies, including many of Egypt’s leading corporations. more[...]

Sustainable Forest Management and Carbon in Tropical Latin America: The Case for REDD+
Dr. Robert Nasi, Consultative Group on International Agricultural Research (CGIAR)Tropical forests are threatened by the distinctly different processes of deforestation and forest degradation. While deforestation involves the conversion of forests to another land use type, degradation results in forests that have lost some of their ability to provide environmental goods and services. In economic terms, deforestation tends to be associated with investments in other land uses, mainly agriculture, whereas degradation tends to be linked to short-term extraction of forest rents or wildfires. Forest degradation translates into losses of biodiversity, reduced capacity of forests to provide the full spectrum of goods and services, enhanced likelihoods of subsequent deforestation, and reduced resilience and adaptation potential to climate change. more[...]

Blueprints for Change – The Sustainability Imperative
Susanne Stormer, Novo Nordisk
Novo Nordisk50 – 50 – 50. By 2050 there will be 50 percent more people in the world, and we will have been responsible for reducing global carbon emissions by 50 percent. A seemingly simple equation, yet a tall challenge. It makes it painfully clear that sustainable development hinges on our ability to manage growth sustainably and not only make up for the harm we inflict on the global ecosystem, but also to effectively decouple economic value creation from environmental degradation and social inequality. more[...]

PUMAVision
Dr. Reiner Hengstmann, Puma
Stefan D. Seidel, Puma2009 was an eventful and challenging year – not only for PUMA but also for the world economy and the Sportlifestyle industry as a whole.

Corporate Social Responsibility – A Philosophy of Life
María del Rosario García, Mutualista Pichincha
Soledad Burbano, Mutualista PichinchaFor Mutualista Pichincha, corporate social responsibility and the Ten Principles of the Global Compact go far beyond the realm of traditional institutional and professional behavior. They constitute a way of life and a new manner of doing things in all aspects of our entrepreneurship. They must become the engine that drives all our actions at work and at home; with our children, friends, and colleagues; on the streets as well as during public events and all of our daily activities. more[...]

Involving Business in the Fight to Save Life on Earth
Dr. Ahmed Djoghlaf, Convention on Biological DiversitySince its launch in July 2000, the Global Compact has been systematically enlisting businesses in the fight for a sustainable future. However, today the long-term health and prosperity of humanity are under threat more than ever due to the irreversible changes we are causing to the planet. That is why in his 2009 speech to the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon stated: “We must break the tyranny of short-term thinking in favor of long-term solutions” and why he called for “a renewed commitment to core principles.” more[...]

The UNGC has clearly exceeded all expectations that were generated when it was first launched
Dr. Rajendra-Kumar Pachauri, Intergovernmental Panel on Climate ChangeI am delighted to write on the occasion of the UN Global Compact’s 10th anniversary 2000–2010 and the publication of the Global Compact International Yearbook 2010.

It is becoming increasingly clear that the most intractable problems facing human society can only be solved if business and corporate organizations become an important part of the solution. more[...]
