Duni Group now part of the UN Global Compact

The UN Global Compact (UNGC) is the world’s largest initiative to unite the business community around corporate sustainability, regardless of company size and complexity or where it is located. Today, UNGC includes more than 12,000 companies in over 160 countries. Duni Group is also a part of the Swedish network. In August 2021, Robert Dackeskog, President and CEO, signed the application, which was accepted in the autumn.

“As a member of the UNGC, we are committed to working for sustainable change, which is at the heart of our strategy. This is not new for us, but it feels good that it is now more official”, Jolanta Debowska, Quality and HSE Manager, Duni Group Poland.

Companies that are part of the global network must change their operations based on ten principles divided into four areas: human rights, labor law, environment and anti-corruption. They should be part of the company’s strategy, culture and daily operations. It should also publicly advocate for the UNGC and report on its progress.

“Under the UNGC, we have updated our Code of Conduct and will set higher standards for both our suppliers and our own units. We are strengthening our social responsibility,” says Jolanta.
