Participation in the UK Network of the UN Global Compact is open to UK based organisations that are “active” participants in the UN Global Compact. Please note that an organisation is not automatically a participant in the UK Network when it becomes a signatory to the Global Compact - there are separate joining processes for each initiative.
More information on how to become a signatory to the UN Global Compact can be found on the UK Network website here, or on the United Nations Global Compact website, here.
