Cruise Saudi at the United Nations Global Compact
Cruise Saudi has announced its participation in the United Nations Global Compact, the world’s largest corporate sustainability initiative dedicated to promoting sustainable and socially responsible business practices.
Formally launched in July 2000, the United Nations Global Compact is a non-binding UN pact that encourages companies and private sector businesses worldwide to adopt sustainable and socially responsible policies and report on their implementation.
By joining the United Nations Global Compact, Cruise Saudi commits to integrating its ten principles in the areas of human rights, labor, environment, and anti-corruption into its global strategy, culture, and day-to-day operations. Additionally, Cruise Saudi will engage in collaborative projects that promote the broader development goals of the United Nations, particularly its 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), which were created with the aim of addressing climate change and ending poverty.
