PJSC Ukrnafta has joined the UN Global Compact, said Sergiy Koretsky, CEO of the company.
“An important milestone in the history of Ukrnafta – the company has joined the UN Global Compact in Ukraine, the local network of the largest global initiative that unites the world’s and Ukraine’s leading companies around common values of sustainable development,” he wrote on his Facebook page on Tuesday.
According to Koretsky, a modern company in the modern world must understand its responsibility to both society and the environment and strictly adhere to the highest standards in its work.
“The partnership with the UN Global Compact in Ukraine will help Ukrnafta to strictly follow its 10 principles to achieve the UN Sustainable Development Goals and contribute to the achievement of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals to build a strong, sustainable and responsible society,” explained the CEO, adding that these are human rights protection, fair labor principles, environmental standards and zero tolerance for corruption.
He emphasized that by doing so, Ukrnafta has once again confirmed the course it has set after the transition to state control: it operates transparently, develops international partnerships, implements the highest OECD corporate governance standards and adheres to global ESG standards.
