We support companies in the implementation of the SDGs through various formats such as e-learning, tools, and training programmes. SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT GOALS In 2015, all 193 member states of the United Nations adopted a plan for achieving a better future for all — a total of 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The SDGs characterize the sustainability debate at national and international levels. As a global goals system, the SDGs provide a common language and a compass for the challenges of the 21st century. The implementation target year for these is 2030. In addition to the commitment of politicians and civil society, the business community is also required to master these challenges. The private sector plays an enormous role in tackling these global challenges. Companies must increasingly leverage their resources to advance the SDGs. There are only a few years left to implement the 2030 Agenda. In view of the slow progress to date, UN Secretary-General António Guterres called for a ‘Decade of Action’ at the beginning of 2020 and mandated the UN Global Compact to mobilize the business community. The UN Global Compact Network Switzerland & Liechtenstein is responding to this call by supporting companies in the interpretation and implementation of the SDGs through various formats such as e-learning, tools, and training programmes.

We support businesses adopting a holistic approach to Transformational Governance through SDG 16. Transformational Governance Investors, consumers and politicians around the world are increasingly expecting companies and CEOs to actively work towards a better society. For example, the Edelman Trust Barometer 2021 shows that 86% of respondents expect CEOs to speak out on social issues. Transformational governance provides a framework for companies to better meet these increased demands. As a holistic and principles-based approach, transformational governance calls on companies to be more accountable, ethical, inclusive and transparent. This includes internal processes such as creating a culture of integrity and compliance within the company, but also external factors in the business environment such as transparency, the rule of law and strong institutions. Companies can make a positive contribution to improved economic conditions through stakeholder consultations, advocacy, collective action or other capacity building measures. The content and requirements of transformational governance are based on SDG 16 (peace, justice and strong institutions), which forms the basis for compliance with the Ten Principles of the United Nations Global Compact and the other SDGs. The promotion of SDG 16 is also essential for companies in order to create long-term stability and an enabling environment, but also to fulfil their growing social responsibility. Together with partners across business, the UN system, civil society, and academia, we support businesses to adopt a holistic approach to Transformational Governance through SDG 16.

The business community has a responsibility to uphold human rights and labour standards both in the workplace and more broadly along its entire value chain Human Rights The idea of human rights is as simple as it is powerful: That all people have a right to be treated with dignity. Businesses often impact the human rights of their employees and contract workers, workers in their supply chains, the communities around their operations and even the end users of their products or services. Whether directly or indirectly, they impact virtually the entire spectrum of internationally recognized human rights. As a result, companies have both a responsibility and an opportunity to advance human rights across operations, supply chains and beyond. Is your company able to know and show that it supports and respects the protection of internationally proclaimed human rights, and that it is not complicit in human rights abuses? We offer a wide range of resources including e-learning & webinar recordings, tools & publications and training programmes as well as exchange opportunities to support you in implementing human rights due diligence processes no matter where you are in your sustainability journey.

We offer resources and a platform for exchange & dialogue to support companies in preventing corruption. Anti-Corruption Corruption exists in various forms in almost all companies, industries and countries. Increased business and transaction costs, distorted competition and reduced economic growth are just some of the consequences. Through compliance and adherence to the rules, companies can act against fraud, bribery, extortion and other forms of corruption. As value chains become more complex and diverse, and we see a range of challenges being integrated including the connections between human rights, labour issues, environment and corruption, businesses need to understand the risks and drivers of corruption — and how to address them within their organizations. The Tenth Principle of the UN Global Compact therefore calls on companies to take a stand against all forms of corruption. Against the backdrop of increasingly demanding anti-corruption regulations in countries around the world, corruption also increasingly represents a legal and reputational risk for companies. Investors are also paying more attention to corruption as a potential risk that destabilises internal company structures and increases transaction costs. The UN Global Compact and its partners therefore offer resources and platform for exchange and dialogue at national and global level to support companies in preventing corruption.

Implement successful water stewardship with our useful resources such as e-learnings, publications, and exchange opportunities. Ocean Stewardship Oceans are crucial to the well-being and prosperity of humankind - whether for the production of food, energy, raw materials or transport. They play a critical and unique role in addressing the twin crises of biodiversity and climate change that threaten our very existence. But the oceans are in urgent need of protection and restoration. Covering some 70% of the earth’s surface, oceans are threatened by rising temperatures, acidification, extraction and depletion of resources, and pollution in many forms. Research shows ocean mitigation solutions could reduce the greenhouse gas emissions gap by as much as one-fifth as we seek a path to limiting global temperatures to a 1.5° C increase by 2050. Businesses can often have a direct or indirect impact on the oceans and have a responsibility to work together towards sustainable ocean management. By doing so, they can both reduce their impact on the oceans and create new business opportunities in the long term. In collaboration with over 300 stakeholders, the UN Global Compact has developed nine Sustainable Ocean Principles that provide companies with a framework for responsible business practices. By signing the principles, companies can set an example and receive a framework for integrating ocean-related challenges into their strategy. To support you in developing and implementing successful ocean stewardship, you can find below useful resources such as e-learnings, publications, and exchange opportunities.

We offer you initial starting points, support, and guidance on the topic of living wage. Living Wages Through their commitment to living wages, companies can enable workers worldwide to enjoy a decent standard of living. Labour poverty caused by low wages is a global problem and is widespread in different sectors. According to the International Labour Organization (ILO), in 2019, more than 630 million workers worldwide - almost one in five, or 19 percent of all employees - did not earn enough to lift themselves and their families out of extreme or moderate poverty. Companies can use their influence along their supply and value chains to advocate for living wages across all sectors and enable a decent standard of living for workers worldwide. In addition to making an important social contribution, living wages also represent an investment in core businesses, value chains, and the broader operating environment for many companies. They also enable companies to fulfill their human rights obligations better. This is because legislation is increasingly demanding that companies pay decent wages. Benefit from the many resources provided by the UN Global Compact to advance your living wage efforts.
