Construction machinery manufacturer BOMAG has joined the United Nations Global Compact—the world’s largest corporate sustainability initiative. By taking this step, BOMAG pledges to conduct its business responsibly in the areas of human rights, labour standards, environmental protection and anti-corruption, and commits to the transparent implementation of corresponding measures (UN Global Compact).
“In line with our self-image as a responsible company, joining the UN Global Compact is a consistent step,” said Dr Ingo Ettischer, CEO of the BOMAG Group. “We see sustainability not as an option, but as a binding corporate responsibility—towards our employees, partners, customers and future generations. That’s why the 10 principles of the UN Global Compact are actively integrated into our strategies and processes, and we will continue to consistently expand our commitment.”
The UN Global Compact calls on companies worldwide to align their operations and strategies with ten universally accepted principles in the areas of human rights, labour standards, environmental protection and anti-corruption, and to take action in support of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
Launched in 2000, the UN Global Compact is the world’s largest initiative for corporate sustainability, with over 20,000 participating companies in more than 160 countries and over 60 local networks. BOMAG aims to systematically link innovation, resource conservation and social responsibility—with a particular focus on the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)—as a foundation for sustainable mechanical engineering.
