MAC Clinical Research is pleased to announce that we have joined the United Nations Global Compact initiative — a voluntary leadership platform for the development, implementation and disclosure of responsible business practices.
With this announcement, we are proud to join thousands of other companies globally committed to taking responsible business action to create the world we all want.
The UN Global Compact is a call to companies everywhere to align their operations and strategies with ten universally accepted principles in the areas of human rights, labour, environment and anti-corruption, and to take action in support of UN goals and issues embodied in the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
Launched in 2000, the UN Global Compact is the largest corporate sustainability initiative in the world, with more than 15,000 companies and 3,800 non-business signatories based in over 160 countries, and more than 69 Local Networks.
Claire Horsgood, Vice President of Operations and Growth comments ‘We are excited to make this commitment, aligning our sustainability strategies to the Ten Principles of the United Nations Global Compact on human rights, labour, environment and anti-corruption. It is exhilarating to be part of this global movement; sharing knowledge and ideas to help us make the UN Global Compact and its principles part of the strategy, culture and day-to-day operations of our company, and to engaging in collaborative projects which advance the broader development goals of the United Nations, particularly the Sustainable Development Goals. At MAC we are early in our journey but have a strong progressive foundation on which to build and with the support of the UN Global Compact we believe that journey will be a successful one.’
