Increased commitment to sustainability: Marcolin, one of the world's leading groups in the ophthalmic optics sector, recently announced that it has joined the United Nations Global Compact. Marcolin joins more than 20,000 companies and 2,500 non-business signatories from 167 countries worldwide, including more than 500 in Italy.
The Global Compact was launched in 2000 to encourage companies to align their strategies and activities with the ten universal principles in the areas of human rights, labor standards, environmental protection and anti-corruption and to promote measures to achieve the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). By joining the Global Compact, Marcolin commits to share, support and apply the ten principles considered fundamental in the areas of human rights, labor standards, environmental protection and anti-corruption within its sphere of influence. The Group reiterates the central importance of its comprehensive ESG approach in its corporate processes, based on a strategy that rests on three pillars: Environment, Employees and Supply Chain.
For Marcolin, joining the United Nations Global Compact represents a further step in the company's commitment to concrete and tangible sustainability. By joining forces with thousands of companies worldwide, Marcolin aims to help accelerate change and create a more sustainable future for current and future generations.
