The UNGC was advocated by former UN Secretary General Kofi Annan at the World Economic Forum in Davos on January 1999, and is clearly supported by current United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon.

It is a voluntary initiative to participate in the development of a global framework for businesses to act as a good member of society and realize sustainable growth by exercising creative, responsible leadership.
