Huf Group committed to the principles of the UN Global Compact

In January 2018, the Huf Group joined the United Nations Global Compact (UNGC). The UNGC is the world's largest and most important initiative for sustainable and responsible corporate governance. By signing up, Huf Group is committed to integrating the UNGC's ten principles in the areas of human rights, labor, environment and anti-corruption into its corporate strategy and to implement them in daily economic activity.

By participating in the United Nations Global Compact, Huf Group supports the vision of an inclusive, resource-efficient and sustainable global economy. From now on, the Huf Group aims to support and disseminate the ten Global Compact principles into its strategy, culture and day-to-day business. "By joining the United Nations Global Compact, we want to show that sustainability is at the core of our corporate value system," said Dennis Eggeling, Compliance Expert at Huf Group.
