What is the United Nations Global Compact?
It is an international initiative launched in July 2000; it calls on companies worldwide to align their practices with 10 established principles, particularly in the areas of human rights, labour standards, the environment and the fight against corruption.
At Velfor, we didn’t wait until we became a member of the Pact.
Indeed, the principles of the United Nations Covenant are very much reflected in our commitments.
Our commitments:
Promoting a circular economy:
- By using recycled and/or recyclable materials wherever possible
- By reducing, recycling and shredding production waste at most of our production sites
- By encouraging the recycling of certain products
Supporting our staff:
- By looking after the wellbeing, health and safety of our staff
- By promoting training and career development
- By promoting respect, fairness and inclusion
Promoting local partnerships:
- By improving the quality of our products
- By developing carefully considered partnerships across our entire value chain
- By strengthening our company’s ethical and environmental commitments
As a member of the United Nations Global Compact, the Velfor Group is committed to aligning its strategies and operations with the principles set out therein. The implementation of our commitments is based on targets for 2030 and is carried out by all of the Group’s operating entities.
