Over the past quarter-century, the UN Global Compact has reshaped the way businesses operate, embedding sustainability into corporate strategy and fostering a global movement committed to responsible business practices. As we mark this milestone, we reflect on the progress made and reaffirm the urgent need for continued leadership, innovation and collaboration to build a more sustainable and inclusive future.

In an age where sustainability is no longer a choice but a necessity, businesses and consumers alike are seeking transparency and accountability. The UN Global Compact is taking a significant step forward in meeting this demand with the launch of its Communication on Progress (CoP) Data Visualization Tool.

As the year draws to a close, we reflect on 2024 with gratitude and renewed purpose.

This year, at UNGA79, discussions focused on the Pact for the Future, a framework aimed at tackling global challenges like climate action, technological governance and human security​.

In 2024, we are thrilled to recognize twelve SDG Pioneers who exemplify dedication, innovation, and leadership in advancing the SDGs.

From the transformative potential of AI to innovations in sustainable finance, these five reports are crucial for understanding current trends and future directions.

The 79th Session of the UN General Assembly (UNGA) and the Summit of the Future provide critical platforms for deepening collaborations, building on successes and accelerating investments in a sustainable future.
