United Nations Global Compact
The idea of a United Nations Global Compact relating to the social responsibility of companies was launched by the UN Secretary-General, Kofi Annan.
The Agbar Group joined this initiative in 2002 and, as a result, is committed to adopt, support and promulgate, in its field of influence, a group of fundamental values in the areas of human rights, labour standards, the environment and anti-corruption.
