Vynova, a leading European PVC and chlor-alkali company, today announced that it has joined the United Nations Global Compact initiative - a voluntary leadership platform for the development, implementation and disclosure of responsible business practices.
The UN Global Compact is a call to companies everywhere to align their operations and strategies with ten universally accepted principles in the areas of human rights, labour, environment and anti-corruption, and to take action in support of UN goals and issues embodied in the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
Launched in 2000, the UN Global Compact is the largest corporate sustainability initiative in the world, with more than 15,000 companies and 3,800 non-business signatories based in over 160 countries, and more than 69 Local Networks.
“At Vynova, we are guided by our mission - To offer solutions that bring the benefits of chemistry to society while preserving the planet’s climate, environment and resources. We are therefore proud to join thousands of other companies globally committed to taking responsible business action to create the world we all want,” comments Vynova CEO Christophe André.
“By joining the UN Global Compact, we formally commit to implementing and upholding the principles behind the Global Compact and to contributing to the UN Sustainable Development Goals, in line with our resolute dedication to sustainability excellence, ethics and responsible business practices,” adds Nella van der Eerden, Vynova Vice President Sustainability and ICIG Chief Sustainability Officer.
