UN Global Compact

Sustainability

Our commitment to a sustainable future

In March 2022, Stena Metall Group became a signatory of the UN Global Compact. This commitment encourages companies to adopt socially and environmentally sustainable strategies and to report regularly on their implementation and progress. More than 15,000 companies in 170 countries support the Global Compact, making it one of the world's largest and most well-established sustainability initiatives.

The foundation of the UN Global Compact is a commitment to 10 principles in the areas of human rights, labor, the environment, and anti-corruption. By integrating these principles into strategies and processes, companies can establish a sustainable business culture, which is important both with consideration to the environment and people, but also to ensure long-term business success.

As a participant in the UN Global Compact, the Stena Metall Group reports annually in a “Communication of Progress” on the steps taken or planned to implement the 10 principles. We also measure and report the results of implementation.
