Sensor solution provider HENSOLDT is now a member of the United Nations Global Compact. The company is thus committed to the ten universal sustainability principles in the areas of human rights, labour, the environment and anti-corruption. By signing the Global Compact, HENSOLDT is making visible how important sustainable business practices are for the company. It is the world’s largest initiative for sustainable and responsible corporate governance.
As part of a group-wide sustainability initiative, the company has set itself numerous goals. Among other things, emissions are to be further reduced and the proportion of women within the workforce increased. “By joining, we want to show social and ecological responsibility,” says Thomas Müller, CEO of HENSOLDT AG. “For many customers and business partners, membership in the Global Compact has now become a kind of seal of quality,” Müller continues. By joining, the company is setting an example of corporate governance with integrity.
The Global Compact was launched in 2000 on the initiative of the then UN Secretary General Kofi Annan. Currently, around 15,000 companies and organisations from civil society, politics and science in more than 160 countries are part of it. HENSOLDT is proud to be a member of this high-level initiative of the United Nations.
HENSOLDT takes its responsibility as a global citizen and local company very seriously and has committed itself to performing sustainable pioneering work in the area of technology and human potential that supports the conservation of all species worldwide. At the same time, its activities serve the higher purpose of ensuring the freedom and future of our planet, our natural world and our lives. For this reason, also, HENSOLDT supports numerous initiatives that target sustainable investment in local communities, education, employees and the environment.
