The Global Compact Leaders Summit on June 24 in New York is a unique and historic opportunity to bring intensified international focus and increased momentum to the Secretary-General's leadership challenge for global society.
That is: Harnessing the potential of markets and business leadership through shared values (the Global Compact's principles) and collective action so that global markets can be made to work for all.
The Summit, to be chaired by the United Nations Secretary-General, will assemble the leaders of participating companies, international labour and civil society, in addition to select government officials, to take stock of the Global Compact and chart its future course.
Through plenary sessions and roundtable discussions, the Summit will seek to bring maximum intellectual leverage and issue leadership to key topics, while placing a premium on the development of outcomes, including new initiatives and measures to ensure the continued relevancy and evolution of the Global Compact.
The Summit will feature several interactive panels, multi-stakeholder in nature, focusing on the following:
- Leadership and Principles
- Working Together: The Power of Collective Action
- Framing the Challenges and Shaping the Future
