“Sustainability is at the core of our business and our future. By joining the UN Global Compact, we are taking a further step to align with international principles and contribute to the collective effort to advance sustainable development,” says Eric Gosse, President and CEO at Nynas.

A global movement for responsible business

The UN Global Compact brings together more than 25,000 participants from 167 countries. The initiative is built on Ten Principles covering human rights, labour, the environment and anti-corruption. In addition to adopting these principles, members are encouraged to take strategic action to advance broader societal goals such as the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

Through this global network, companies gain access to training, practical tools and opportunities for collaboration across industries and geographies.

What membership means for Nynas

By joining, Nynas commits to aligning its operations with the UN Global Compact’s Ten Principles in the areas of human rights, labour, environment and anti-corruption. Each year, the company will report publicly on its progress and share how it contributes to the UN Sustainable Development Goals.

“Nynas participation this year is especially meaningful as it coincides with the 25th anniversary of the UN Global Compact, reflecting our ambition to contribute even more to create the world we all want — not only through the solutions we deliver, but also through how we operate and the partnerships we form,” comments Ingrid Gonzales, Group Sustainability Manager at Nynas.

Nynas has supported infrastructure and industry for decades with products that make a difference. By joining the UN Global Compact, Nynas positions itself among companies worldwide that are committed to transparency, accountability and innovation in building a more sustainable future.
