EnerSys recently announced that it is now a member of the United Nations Global Compact. Launched in 2000, the UNGC is focused on helping companies align around 10 universally accepted principles in the areas of human rights, labor, environment, and anti-corruption and to ensure that businesses leverage and embody the UN Sustainable Development Goals.
“Joining the United Nations Global Compact is an important milestone as we advance our sustainability efforts,” David M. Shaffer, EnerSys president and CEO, said in a statement. “We are pleased to confirm our support of the Ten Principles, which are fully aligned with our core values. Our business is at the center of the transition to a low-carbon, clean energy future and we look forward to leveraging the UN Global Compact and the UN Sustainable Development Goals to Power the Future – Everywhere for Everyone.”
EnerSys said membership in the UN Global Compact is part of the company’s commitment to a global sustainability strategy.
With more than 14,000 companies in over 160 countries participating, the UN Global Compact holds members to the highest sustainability standards. A key requirement for participation in the UN Global Compact is an annual submission of a Communication on Progress that highlights company efforts to implement the Ten Principles.
