Launched in 2000, the UN Global Compact is the largest corporate sustainability initiative in the world, with more than 15,000 companies and 3,800 non-business signatories based in over 160 countries and more than 69 Local Networks.

ESG is our north star, and we are taking calculated action with a comprehensive strategy underpinned by clear medium- and long-term science-based targets. We are making ESG core to who we are as a business and how we serve our employees, clients, and communities. Joining UNGC enables us to benefit from a wealth of training and documentation. Still, most importantly, it ensures that we are measuring ourselves against a recognized industry standard and not just jumping on the ESG bandwagon."
Brad Hunt, CEO at Rimes concludes, "Creating a sustainable business which treats its employees, clients and partners with integrity and respect is non-negotiable and a subject which I and my management team passionately support. Being part of the UNGC program is essential to our growth strategy, as we aim to attract and retain the smartest people available globally. I believe this a key step in making that a reality."
