Member of United Nation's Global Compact

At the end of 2009, Nolato signed up to the UN Global Compact. The Group has thereby taken a clear position on issues relating to human rights, social conditions, environmental responsibility and corruption. The Group subscribes to the ten principles of the Global Compact, and this commitment is followed up in Nolato’s annual sustainability report. The status and details of activities carried out are also reported directly to the Global Compact Office.

In view of the Group’s growing presence in developing countries, we believe that it is particularly important to highlight the fact that we do not accept activities that breach the UN’s Universal Declaration of Human Rights. This applies both to us and to our suppliers.

Below is an overview of our work during 2009 with the ten principles of the Global Compact. Further details can be found in Nolato’s sustainability reporting in accordance with GRI (the Global Reporting Initiative). This sustainability reporting is integrated into Nolato’s Annual Report.
