Global Compact Network Georgia searches for professionals committed to advancing the Sustainable Development Goals

Tbilisi, 1 December 2021 — As part of the 2022 UN Global Compact SDG Pioneers programme, Global Compact Network Georgia today launched its national search for professionals who are committed to advancing the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). By 10 March, our Network will recognize an employee of a participating company as the Global Compact Network Georgia SDG Pioneer. The selected Local Pioneer will then have the opportunity to participate in the final search of Global SDG Pioneers to be recognized during the 2022 UN Global Compact Leaders Summit.

In 2022, the UN Global Compact will recognize a new class of Global SDG Pioneers who are setting ambitious SDG targets, scale and impact across their companies through a principles-based approach.

Global Compact Network Georgia welcomes the leadership of companies participating in the UN Global Compact to nominate their employees to the programme and later on join them during the recognition.

“Business has a critical role to play in achieving the Sustainable Development Goals. These exceptional professionals show exactly what can be done by businesses to make a difference that not only serves shareholders but also society at large. I hope they will also inspire others to join them in uniting in the business of a better world,” said Sanda Ojiambo, CEO & Executive Director of the UN Global Compact.

Employees of companies participating in the UN Global Compact are welcome to submit their own application on contributions towards sustainable development or nominate a colleague inviting them to submit an application for consideration in the programme before 31 January 2022.
