Welcome to the United Nations Global Compact. We are pleased to inform you that Associacao Paralelo 17S “O Descobrimento” has been added to our register of participants: http://unglobalcompact.org/participant/90641

Thank you for joining our corporate responsibility initiative – the world’s largest with nearly 12,000 business and non-business participants in 140 countries.

This email provides an overview of your organization’s commitment to the UN Global Compact and helpful information related to engagement in our initiative.

Expectations of Participation

As a participant, Associacao Paralelo 17S “O Descobrimento” commits to:

Support the Ten Principles of the UN Global Compact with respect to human rights, labour, environment and anticorruption; Advance these principles within your sphere of influence, and make a clear statement of this commitment to your stakeholders and the general public; Take part in the activities of the UN Global Compact according to your type of organization; and Communicate every two years with your stakeholders on your engagement in the Global Compact and your efforts to support the ten principles, and post this Communication on Engagement (COE) on the UN Global Compact website. Failure to post a COE every two years will result in loss of an “active” status in the UN Global Compact, and eventual removal from the initiative. Guidance Materials

All new UN Global Compact participants are asked to read After the Signature – A Guide to Engagement in the Global Compact. The short publication provides an introduction to the UN Global Compact and suggests practical steps to start the implementation process.

A resource library is available on our website to aid UN Global Compact participants in implementing the Ten Principles, engaging in partnerships and communicating progress on corporate responsibility actions.
