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 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 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.

The UNGC helps businesses to get started in planning for a just transition. Just Transition A just transition ensures that environmentally sustainable economies are promoted in a way that is as fair and inclusive as possible to everyone concerned, creating decent work opportunities and leaving no one behind. It aims to ensure that the transition to net-zero emissions and climate resilience is orderly, inclusive and just. Businesses have a crucial role to achieve a just transition: Private sector support for a just transition contributes to environmental goals, as well as economic growth and social development, through robust company practices, social dialogue, advocacy and partnerships . As key players in shaping the transition to a lower-emission and climate-friendly economy, companies can make an important contribution to ensuring that the social and human rights implications of this transition are also taken into account: For example, the International Labour Organization (ILO) expects 78 million new jobs to be created by 2030 as a result of investment in the circular economy, but also 71 million jobs to be lost. The commitment to a just transition therefore makes it possible to tackle key issues of human rights and environmental due diligence in parallel. In addition, measures to ensure a just transition also contribute to better management of the impact of emissions reductions, increased social support for climate action and sustainability and good stakeholder relations. Advancing a just transition is a priority area for the UN Global Compact. Business action on just transition begins from a foundation of responsible business conduct and respect for human and labour rights, supported by the Ten Principles of the UN Global Compact . Building on the guiding principles of just transition established in the International Labour Organization’s Just Transition Guidelines, the UN Global Compact helps businesses to get started in planning for a just transition.

We supports participants in the evolving regulations landscape. Regulations & Reporting Reporting to stakeholders in a transparent and public manner is fundamental for companies committed to sustainability. There are several powerful drivers of non-financial reporting that are pushing companies to act responsibly and report on their actions: investors are considering environmental, social and governance (ESG) information in their strategies. Non-financial information is shaping the decisions of consumers, local communities and civil society organizations that are all expecting greater transparency from business. Once only a voluntary activity, there is a trend towards mandatory non-financial reporting. The UN Global Compact Network Switzerland & Liechtenstein offers information and guidance on current regulatory and sustainability reporting, such as the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD), in different formats.

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.

Access a wide range of e-learning, recordings, tools, training programmes & exchange opportunities to drive climate action forward. Climate Global emissions are at their highest level in human history and continue to rise. Today, climate change is impacting economies, supply chains and communities around the globe, with the most vulnerable populations at the frontlines of the crisis. The good news is that we still have time to act. The environmental principles of the UN Global Compact provide an entry point for business to address key environmental challenges. They apply to areas such as research, innovation, co-operation, education, and self-regulation. These principles can positively influence the large negative effects of human activity on the environment, such as environmental degradation, and damage to the planet’s life support systems. Companies need to focus their efforts on deep decarbonization, reaching net-zero by 2050 at the latest. At the same time, companies must anchor their sustainability practices in a rights- and principles-based approach and ensure that their mitigation and adaptation measures do not deepen inequalities but contribute to climate justice through a just transition. The private sector has never been better equipped to tackle the climate emergency. We offer a wide range of resources including e-learning & webinar recordings, tools & publications and training programmes as well as exchange opportunities to drive climate action forward.

Access resources and exchange opportunities to address biodiversity challenges. Biodiversity & Nature Everyone on the planet is dependent on ecosystem services, from the food we eat to the water we drink and the air we breathe. Biodiversity forms the basis of our social and economic well-being, yet a triple planetary crisis - that of climate change, biodiversity loss and pollution - is raging. Due to human activities, six out of the nine planetary boundaries have already been transgressed, leading to an unprecedented rate of ecosystem deterioration and putting 1 million species at risk of extinction . Biodiversity loss and ecosystem collapse now rank as the second-largest long-term risks for businesses . Humanity is waking up to this problem. In the words of UN Secretary-General António Guterres, “we must end the merciless, relentless, and senseless war on nature”. Companies play an important dual role when it comes to biodiversity: on the one hand, many companies and economic sectors are dependent on the conservation of biodiversity. On the other hand, they can protect and preserve this basis of life by acting responsibly. European regulations and standards (e.g. CSRD, Taxonomy or CSDDD) and global agreements such as the Global Biodiversity Framework (GBF) set a clear path to a world living in harmony with nature by 2050, with specific expectations for business. Companies need to transform their business models, starting with assessing their impacts and dependencies on nature, and implementing credible nature strategies that will provide co-benefits for climate, biodiversity, and society. This transformation could create $10.1 trillion of annual business opportunities and 395 million jobs by 2030 . We offer some resources including e-learnings, recordings, tools, publications and exchange opportunities as an entry point for businesses to address biodiversity challenges.
