The SBTi session clarified thresholds for recalculating and revalidating targets during expansions or M&A while discussions on emissions from software products offered practical insights.

Grounding, because we are all facing similar challenges when it comes to e. g. complying with new regulations and incorporating sustainability into operations. And inspiring for two main reasons; firstly, the group discussions invoked my creative energy by encouraging alternative approaches to the challenges at hand; secondly, the 8-step methodology facilitated my reflection on previously set goals to enhance our corporate impact in the future.

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.

Access resources that assist you in developing more sustainable supply chain practices. Supply Chains Corporate supply chains are bigger and more complex than ever before. Open markets have enabled companies to source materials and outsource production to suppliers in developing and emerging economies. When done right, this can deliver significant benefits to companies in the form of reduced costs and enhanced profitability and shareholder value. It can also contribute to much needed economic and social development, resulting in higher standards of living for millions of people. Therefore, a company’s entire supply chain can make a significant impact in promoting human rights, fair labour practices, environmental progress and anti-corruption policies . However, supply chain practices can be an organization's biggest challenge because of their scale and complexity. Successful managers must think beyond short-term financial considerations to build relationships that can deliver long-term value along the entire supply chain. This includes incorporating sustainability issues into the company’s sourcing and purchasing practices. The UN Global Compact encourages companies to make sustainability a priority from the top of the organization. If the chief executive sees the supply chain as an extension of their workforce and community, the company can set expectations for best practices across its supply chain. These can include key areas such as selection, training, auditing, and remediation . Doing so promotes a broader understanding within an organization of how decisions made, beyond procurement, can affect the supply chain. For example, legal staff, product developers, and marketing all can have an impact. In addition, companies must look at their supply chain as a whole, and consider the suppliers that may have the most significant challenges to address. To help, the UN Global Compact we develop guidance and resources listed below to assist companies in developing more sustainable supply chain practices.

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.

Learn about the Ten Prinicples of the UN Global Compact in the areas of human rights, labour, environment and anti-corruption. THE TEN PRINCIPLES of the UN Global Compact Corporate sustainability starts with a company’s value system and a principles-based approach to doing business. This means operating in ways that, at a minimum, meet fundamental responsibilities in the areas of human rights, labour, environment and anti-corruption . Responsible businesses enact the same values and principles wherever they have a presence, and know that good practices in one area do not offset harm in another. By incorporating the Ten Principles of the UN Global Compact into strategies, policies and procedures, and establishing a culture of integrity, companies are not only upholding their basic responsibilities to people and planet, but also setting the stage for long-term success. The Ten Principles of the United Nations Global Compact are derived from: the Universal Declaration of Human Rights , the International Labour Organization’s Declaration on Fundamental Principles and Rights at Work , the Rio Declaration on Environment and Development , and the United Nations Convention Against Corruption . Principle 1 : Businesses should support and respect the protection of internationally proclaimed human rights; and Principle 2 : make sure that they are not complicit in human rights abuses. Principle 3 : Businesses should uphold the freedom of association and the effective recognition of the right to collective bargaining. Principle 4 : the elimination of all forms of forced and compulsory labour; Principle 5 : the effective abolition of child labour; and Principle 6 : the elimination of discrimination in respect of employment and occupation. Principle 7 : Businesses should support a precautionary approach to environmental challenges; Principle 8 : undertake initiatives to promote greater environmental responsibility; and Principle 9 : encourage the development and diffusion of environmentally friendly technologies. Principle 10 : Businesses should work against corruption in all its forms, including extortion and bribery. Resources on the Ten Principles Click on the tabs to access the relevant resources.

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.
