UNITED NATIONS GLOBAL COMPACT

The UN Global Compact (UNGC) is the world’s largest corporate sustainability initiative. It calls on companies to bring their strategies and operations into line with universally accepted principles in the areas of human rights, labor, environment and anti-corruption, and to take action to support the achievement of communal targets in these areas.

The UNGC calls on private sector institutions to abide by the following ten basic universal principles:

Adherence to the UNGC is entirely voluntary. So far it has 9,670 signatories from 163 different countries. In Turkey, 149 companies and 101 non-business signatories have joined the Compact, making a total of 250 active signatories. Companies in Turkey which have adhered to the UNGC employ 483,139 individuals.*

ENKA İnşaat ve Sanayi A.Ş. committed itself to acting in accordance with the ten basic universal principles above by joining the UN Global Compact on November 17, 2017 [link: https://www.unglobalcompact.org/what-is-gc/participants/125671-ENKA-Insaat-ve-Sanayi-A-S-]
