United Nations Global Compact
The United Nations Global Compact (UNGC) is a call to companies to align their business strategies and operations with ten universal principles on human rights, labor, the environment and more, and to take actions to advance societal goals. Currently, more than 14,000 companies in 160 countries participate in the Compact, including EnerSys.
EnerSys is proud to be a recently approved participant in the UNGC, and we view this as a crucial milestone in advancing our sustainability efforts. We support the ten UNGC principles, as well as the seventeen U.N. Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) that are fully aligned with EnerSys core values. We aim to leverage the UNGC and the SDGs to further the transition to a low-carbon, clean energy future everywhere, for everyone.
