✿ Montpellier : 1ère Métropole membre du Global Compact France : prenez part au mouvement !

Montpellier Méditerranée Métropole became the first metropolitan area to join Global Compact France, the official local relay for the United Nations Global Compact. The largest sustainable development initiative, this international effort offers members a framework for voluntary commitment based on ten principles and 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Over 14,000 companies in 162 countries have joined the Global Compact, which includes 1,460 companies and 100 non-profit organizations in France.

By joining and supporting this United Nations initiative, we wanted to create momentum with companies and business stakeholders responsible for building the world we want together.

With that goal in mind, Montpellier Méditerranée Métropole is pleased to invite you to attend the first event with Global Compact France and a metropolis, featuring round tables to inspire, share, and imagine new social, societal, and environmental innovations that can serve both as economic levers for your organization and benefits for promoting a positive economy. This will be a major event and a time to think about embracing the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals❀ (SDGs) in the presence of business leaders, recognized experts, and inspiring individuals.
