GC Launches New Visual Identity


In September 2007, the Global Compact launched a new visual identity, including a new Global Compact logo, following the first comprehensive review of our branding. The design was developed after extensive consultations with Global Compact participants and Local Networks.

The new logo, which was first introduced to Global Compact participants and stakeholders at the Global Compact Leaders Summit in Geneva in July, is intended to improve recognition and awareness of the initiative throughout the world. The new logo builds on elements of the original Global Compact logo developed in 2000, but forges a stronger link to the UN brand family.

"The Global Compact's new visual identity has been developed to better reflect the universal value proposition of the Global Compact," said Georg Kell, Executive Director of the UN Global Compact. "We feel strongly that the new look will strengthen our efforts in global brand management and enhance the recongition of the Global Compact as the world's leading voluntary corporate citizenship initiative."

Participants are encouraged to use the "We Support the Global Compact" logo as a way to further show commitment, for example on corporate websites and pertinent printed materials. Using the "We Support" logo in this way can help raise awareness and understanding of the Global Compact's mission. Please become familiar with the policy regarding use of the UN Global Compact name and logo and request permission from our Office – including a sample of desired use – before using any Global Compact logo. Our office will respond quickly to all inquiries.

The Ten Principles

The Global Compact's ten principles in the areas of human rights, labour, the environment and anti-corruption enjoy universal consensus and are derived from:

• The Universal Declaration of Human Rights
• The International Labour Organization's Declaration on Fundamental Principles and Rights at Work
• The Rio Declaration on Environment and Development
• The United Nations Convention against Corruption

About the Compact Quarterly


The Compact Quarterly endeavors to provide Global Compact participants, stakeholders and observers with a range of thought-provoking articles, interviews and updates on topics related to the initiative, as well as to corporate responsibility in general. Produced by the Global Compact Office, the Compact Quarterly is published four times a year in electronic form. A printed compendium of the Compact Quarterly is produced at the end of each calendar year.

2007 SCHEDULE: Due to the Global Compact Leaders Summit (July 2007), the Compact Quarterly will be produced only two times in 2007. Issues of the publication are scheduled for release in March and December. A regular schedule will resume in 2008.

Readers are encouraged to contact Carrie Hall, Editor, at hallc@un.org with comments and suggestions, as well as to express interest in contributing to future issues of the Compact Quarterly.
