ABOUT THE SAUDI NETWORK
The Global Compact Network Saudi Arabia was originally established in 2021 with the ambition to shed light on the Ten Principles through a local lens
"We plan to further expand our network and play a key role in supporting the Kingdom's vision 2030 through promoting for sustainability within the private sector in KSA.”
Ibrahim Alhelali
Executive Director, Global Compact Network Saudi Arabia
Welcome to the Global Compact Network Saudi Arabia
The Global Compact Network Saudi Arabia advances and localizes the adoption of the UN Global Compact Agenda through innovation, partnerships and dialogue.
We engage, enable and connect businesses and non-businesses to support their alignment to the 10 Principles and the 17 SDGs to contribute to the Kingdom Vision 2030.
Hosted by the Federation of Saudi Chambers, we provide opportunities for Network Members to gain further access and exposure locally, regionally and globally.
The Global Compact Network Saudi Arabia (GCN-KSA) is one of the 69 Local Networks around the world that operates through a signed Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the UN Global Compact HQ. We are independent and self-managed entities with the unique mandate to provide direct local support to UN Global Compact participants based in our respective country with direct communication and guidance from UN Global Compact HQ.
The GCN KSA works closely with the UN Global Compact (UNGC) headquarters to provide opportunities for learning, policy dialogue, and partnerships on the Ten Principles of responsible conduct and the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
