How to Engage in Canada
The UN Global Compact Network Canada is your ground support when engaging with the UN Global Compact. The Local Network Canada is spearheading the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the Ten Principles of the UN Global Compact. In doing so, the Local Network Canada unifies and builds the capacity of the Canadian private sector to embrace sustainable business practices by convening and accelerating opportunities for multi-stakeholder collaboration.
To participate in the UN Global Compact, businesses are required to:
- Submit a Letter of Commitment addressed to the UN Secretary-General and signed by the organization's highest level executive stating their commitment to implement the Ten Principles of the UN Global Compact.
- Submit either an annual Communication on Progress (CoP) - a standardized questionnaire submitted through a digital platform, or your annual sustainability report. Subsidiaries are not required to submit a CoP.
- Pay an annual financial contribution.
Policy on Micro Enterprises
We are currently not accepting applications from micro enterprises (business or non-business organizations with less than ten direct/full-time employees) due to network administrative constraints.
We understand the collective value of micro-enterprises in supporting the growth of the green economy and we remain committed to partner on industry-wide initiatives led by micro-enterprises where applicable.
To partner with us, please submit a detailed proposal outlining the mutual benefits of the partnership and your organization’s unique strengths in the proposed area of work. Please note that any funding request proposals will not be considered. For any queries related to partnership opportunities, please contact our Executive Director, Elizabeth Dove at elizabethdove@unglobalcompact.ca.
