About the UN Global Compact Leaders Summit
The UN Global Compact Leaders Summit is a triennial gathering of top executives of Global Compact companies and other stakeholder groups. The largest gathering of its kind, the Leaders Summit represents a unique opportunity for Global Compact participants to discuss corporate sustainability strategy at the highest level, and produce strategic recommendations and action imperatives for the future of the initiative.
More broadly, the Leaders Summit aims to deepen the commitment of participating leaders from business, labour and civil society to the Global Compact and its principles; to build and scale up momentum within the business sector; and to foster enabling environments and collective action.
