The UNU Partnership Initiative
Business Thrives Where Society Thrives
Many successful companies acknowledge that addressing global problems such as poverty, environmental deterioration and trade imbalances through a Corporate Social Responsibility program is an investment opportunity.
Fewer corporations have realized that their long-term success may depend on their response to these problems.
Our vision
We make every effort to engage private enterprises in the work of governments and the United Nations, to build sustainable and equitable societies together, and to mobilize our comparative advantages in pursuit of a world free from want and from fear.
