As a declaration of its firm commitment to innovation-led, progress-seeking sustainable development, GMV has joined the United Nations Global Compact, a worldwide initiative. With this step, GMV takes up and assumes the legacy of one of its subsidiaries, which joined the Global Compact in 2014.

The Global Compact is the world’s leading corporate sustainability initiative. Its primary mission is to call on the business sector to act in line with ten universally accepted principles on human rights, labor standards, the environment and anti-corruption. The Global Compact currently boasts a network of over 19,000 participating organizations from more than 160 countries and 70 local networks.

Since its inception, GMV’s mission and vision have been underpinned by ethical values that permeate every level of the organization and are aligned with the very mission and vision of the Global Compact.

The Global Compact also carries the mandate of the United Nations to advance the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in the business sector. In this regard GMV has developed a wide range of projects and solutions in the various industries in which it operates, making notable contributions to achieving the goals adopted by the UN General Assembly in 2015. The company’s commitment to this initiative is also a testament to its aim of becoming an even more sustainable business and bolstering its activity around various targets of the SDGs.
