For over 20 years, it has aimed to promote a sustainable economy that respects human rights, labor standards, environmental protection, and the fight against corruption.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"426\" data-end=\"581\">The initiative was conceived by then-UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan, who called on companies to contribute to a fairer and more inclusive globalization.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"583\" data-end=\"817\">The Global Compact is based on ten principles derived from major international documents, such as the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and the United Nations Convention against Corruption. These principles cover four key areas:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li data-start=\"819\" data-end=\"1294\"><strong data-start=\"819\" data-end=\"836\">Human Rights:<\/strong> Promote and respect human rights, ensuring that the company is not complicit in abuses.<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"819\" data-end=\"1294\"><strong data-start=\"927\" data-end=\"937\">Labor:<\/strong> Support freedom of association, eliminate forced and child labor, and combat all forms of discrimination.<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"819\" data-end=\"1294\"><strong data-start=\"1046\" data-end=\"1062\">Environment:<\/strong> Adopt a precautionary approach to environmental challenges, promote environmental responsibility, and encourage eco-friendly technologies.<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"819\" data-end=\"1294\"><strong data-start=\"1204\" data-end=\"1224\">Anti-Corruption:<\/strong> Fight corruption in all its forms, including extortion and bribery.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3 data-start=\"95\" data-end=\"161\"><strong data-start=\"95\" data-end=\"159\">What is communicated in the Communication on Progress (COP)?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"163\" data-end=\"470\">Through this annual document, companies participating in the Global Compact report on the progress they have made in implementing the ten fundamental principles. The COP is an essential tool for ensuring transparency and dialogue with stakeholders, as well as for sharing best practices on a global scale.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"472\" data-end=\"846\">For Ecopack, the COP represents a commitment to transparency and accountability, as well as an opportunity to demonstrate concretely our efforts in sustainability and corporate citizenship. Being part of this initiative means joining an international network of over 20,000 companies from 167 countries, all dedicated to promoting collaboration and sustainable innovation.<\/p>\n<h3 data-start=\"86\" data-end=\"145\"><strong data-start=\"86\" data-end=\"143\">Global Compact: a cornerstone of Ecopack\u2019s commitment<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"147\" data-end=\"267\">Participation in the Global Compact and the preparation of the annual COP are fundamental for Ecopack in several ways:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li data-start=\"269\" data-end=\"737\"><strong data-start=\"269\" data-end=\"295\">Credibility and trust:<\/strong> They demonstrate our commitment to sustainable and innovative practices, strengthening the confidence of customers, partners, and communities.<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"269\" data-end=\"737\"><strong data-start=\"441\" data-end=\"462\">Long-term vision:<\/strong> They enable us to adopt innovative and sustainable practices, essential for future growth.<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"269\" data-end=\"737\"><strong data-start=\"556\" data-end=\"583\">Networking and sharing:<\/strong> They provide the opportunity to engage with a global network of companies and organizations, fostering the exchange of ideas and sustainable solutions.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-19750\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ecopack.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/2_ecopack_facciata-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"Our commitment for sustainability - COP\" width=\"382\" height=\"254\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ecopack.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/2_ecopack_facciata-200x133.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.ecopack.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/2_ecopack_facciata-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.ecopack.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/2_ecopack_facciata-400x266.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.ecopack.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/2_ecopack_facciata-600x399.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.ecopack.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/2_ecopack_facciata-768x511.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.ecopack.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/2_ecopack_facciata-800x532.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.ecopack.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/2_ecopack_facciata-1024x681.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.ecopack.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/2_ecopack_facciata-1200x798.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.ecopack.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/2_ecopack_facciata-1536x1022.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.ecopack.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/2_ecopack_facciata-scaled.jpg 2560w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 382px) 100vw, 382px\" \/><\/p>\n<p data-start=\"88\" data-end=\"476\">With its fourth COP, Ecopack reaffirmingly embraces its role as a responsible company, committed to generating value not only for the market but also for society and the environment.
