Oilon Group has joined the United Nations Global Compact Ini­ti­at­ive – a vol­un­tary lead­er­ship plat­form for the devel­op­ment, imple­ment­a­tion, and dis­clos­ure of sus­tain­able and socially respons­ible busi­ness prac­tices. Oilon is proud to join the 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, gath­er­ing almost 20.000 cor­por­a­tions and organ­iz­a­tions from more than 160 coun­tries, and more than 70 Local Net­works.

– Respons­ib­il­ity is one of Oilon’s values and at the core of our busi­ness. Enga­ging in the UN Global Compact is a natural next step in our sus­tain­ab­il­ity work. It is an honor to join this ini­ti­at­ive and cooper­ate with the United Nations and this com­munity in our way to more sus­tain­able world, says Oilon Group CEO Tero Tulokas.

Par­ti­cip­at­ing in the UN’s Global Compact ini­ti­at­ive means that the Oilon Group under­takes to stra­tegic­ally promote the UN’s sus­tain­able devel­op­ment goals in its oper­a­tions, and to report on its pro­gress within a year of joining the com­mit­ment, and annu­ally there­after, fol­low­ing the UN’s Global Compact report­ing pro­ced­ure.
