In 2024, the Asocaciación de Azucareros de Guatemala [Association of Sugar Producers of Guatemala] – Asazgua – took a crucial step toward global sustainability by joining the United Nations Global Compact. This volunteer leadership initiative is a platform for the development, implementation and dissemination of responsible business practices, aligned with the universal values of Human Rights, Labor Standards, Environment and Anti-Corruption.
A global call for responsible action
The United Nations Global Compact calls on companies around the world to align their operations and strategies with the ten universally accepted principles, also supporting the global goals set out in the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
Since its release in 2000, it has become the world’s largest corporate sustainability initiative, with more than 18,000 participating companies in more than 160 countries, supported by more than 69 local networks.
