WTCA Announces Participation with the United Nations Global Compact

We are pleased to announce the WTCA's participation with the United Nations Global Compact (UNGC), demonstrating the Association's support for the UN's mission to drive business awareness and action to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals by 2030. 

With more than 11,000 companies and 3,000 non-business signatories based in over 160 countries around the world, the UNGC is the largest corporate sustainability initiative in the world. Joining the initiative will allow WTCA Members to:

• Engage with other participants
• Partner with a wide range of stakeholders
• Share tools, resources and trainings for responsible corporate practices
• Participate in local networks in 85 countries
• Join a global community of businesses in support of the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals

The WTCA is confident that the Association's participation in this initiative will further support it's mission to operate responsibly and support society in alignment with the ten universal principles in the areas of human rights, labor, environment and anti-corruption.

The WTCA’s participation with the UN Global Compact is the second new strategic engagement that the WTCA has announced as it continues to expand its network of partners across various sectors and industries relevant to its members.

As a Member of the WTCA, we at the World Trade Center of Greater Philadelphia are excited to see what new opportunities participation with the UN Global Compact will bring for us and our own Members.
