Each year the UN Global Compact celebrates SDG Pioneers —business leaders working at any level in a company – who are using business as a force for good to advance the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Through their own company or by mobilising other businesses, they are helping to reach one or more of the SDGs while also contributing to business success.

The AGM is a statutory requirement for a charitable company limited by guarantee and a requirement of the UN Global Compact's Country Network Quality Standards. During this session, we will address some important governance matters, including the appointment of new UN Global Compact Network UK Trustees.

Please note: Only members of the company limited by guarantee can vote at our AGM. To check if your organisation is a member of the company, you can access an extract from our Register of Members here. To join the company, please return the application form to: Caterina Agnoletti, Head of Operations and Participant Engagement.

During this interactive session, we will present the results of our annual Participant Engagement Survey and seek further insights from UK Network members to ensure we continue delivering maximum value in 2025.
