United Nation’s Global Compact is an initiative that has the purpose of making business leaders, labor organizations, civil society organizations, and governments to commit to the Ten Universal Principles in the areas of human rights, labor, environment, and anti-corruption. With this agenda, the Global Compact seeks to provide long-term solutions to the planet’s greatest challenges with a 2030 horizon; the term set forth in September 2015 by the United Nations’ General Assembly for the compliance of the Sustainable Development Goals.
The Argentine Network for the Global Compact is the country’s largest corporate social responsibility initiative, with over 800 participants from 20 provinces. 47 companies from our city are a part of this initiative.
The Municipality of Rosario joined in December 2015, and duly submitted its first commitment report for the 2015-2017 period.
In 2020, during Mayor Pablo Javkin’s administration, the focus shifted to the General Chief of Staff, to provide the public policies with a cross-cutting perspective, with the purpose of integrating the diverse areas of local management and aligning the city’s government plan to the Ten Principles of the Global Compact and to the 17 SDGs for the UN’s 2030 Agenda.
In October 2021, the Municipality submitted its second Communication on Engagement (COE) for the 2017-2020 period, confirming its commitment to the initiative.
