As a result of its dedication to engaging with causes that help address society’s challenges, DA FONTE ADVOGADOS has joined the United Nations Global Compact, the world’s largest corporate sustainability initiative. By doing so, the firm has formally committed to implementing the Ten Universal Principles established by the UN in the areas of human rights, labor, environment, and anti-corruption.

The United Nations Global Compact is a milestone in the global landscape. Launched in 2000, the initiative emerged in response to the need to engage the private sector in promoting sustainable development. Its focus is the advancement of key principles related to human rights, labor standards, environmental protection, and anti-corruption.

The importance of the Global Compact lies especially in its ability to mobilize and connect companies and organizations around shared goals, aligned with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
