Berentzen Group joins United Nations Global Compact
News General news
The Berentzen Group is now part of the world's largest and most important initiative for responsible corporate governance, the United Nations Global Compact (UNGC). The group of companies is thus committed to the ten guiding principles of the UNGC. These take into account various areas such as human rights, labor standards, environmental protection and corruption
"Joining the UNGC, along with other measures in the area of sustainability, makes it clear that responsible corporate governance is part of our entrepreneurial thinking and actions. For us, compliance with the ten UNGC principles also implies continuous optimization of our own working methods. An important component of this will also be the future exchange of knowledge with the other members of the UNGC," explains Ralf Brühöfner (photo), who is responsible on the Executive Board of Berentzen-Gruppe Aktiengesellschaft for the so-called Corporate Social Responsibility activities, among other things. "We are pleased to now be part of a large network with more than 15,000 companies and organizations from over 160 countries that is advancing important issues and contributing to sustainable development worldwide."
The UNGC's ten universal principles include, for example, working against child labor, eliminating discrimination in employment and occupation, taking initiatives to promote greater environmental awareness, and developing and disseminating environmentally friendly technologies.
