GLORY signs the United Nations Global Compact
GLORY LTD. participated in the United Nations Global Compact (hereafter "UNGC") on March 11, 2014.
The UNGC is an international initiative to encourage society to make sustainable development. It includes ten principals in the four areas: human rights, labour, environment and anti-corruption.
At the GLORY Group, we have promoted various activities based on our concept that implementation of our Corporate Philosophy itself is the CSR of GLORY.
We revised our Corporate Action Guidelines in 2013 to express our stance for promoting our CSR activities. We also understand that the concept of our Corporate Action Guidelines and that of the UNGC shares the common value, and accordingly we decided to sign on to the UNGC.
Also, taking the opportunity of our participating in the UNGC, we will pursue to realize our Corporate Philosophy through implementing various activities based on our Corporate Action Guidelines, and will also take initiatives to fulfill our responsibilities as a corporate citizen by promoting activities related with various global issues.
