Gender equality is a fundamental human right as much as an economic and social imperative. The United Nations Global Compact remains steadfast in its commitment to advancing Sustainable Development Goal 5 (SDG 5) — achieving gender equality and empowering all women and girls. We are driving meaningful change in workplaces, marketplaces and communities through strategic initiatives, partnerships and corporate engagement.

Many advancements have been realized in responsible ocean stewardship, emphasizing the importance of voicing current contributions and research from experts.

With an estimated 80 per cent of global trade passing through supply chains, businesses have an opportunity to create meaningful change by focusing on sustainable practices with the companies, organizations and resources that move and make their products and services.

The UN Global Compact is taking a significant step forward in meeting this demand with the launch of its Communication on Progress (CoP) Data Visualization Tool.
