For the second year, the Global Compact Network Italy launches the "SDG Pioneer Local Round" campaign to identify a new SDG Pioneer Italy

Using business as a positive force to support SDGs: in line with this vision, the competition aims to identify and celebrate a Business Professional active at any level within a Global Compact member company (directly, or as a Subsidiary) and daily engaged in the advancement of Agenda 2030.

More specifically, candidates for the SDG Pioneer Italy title must work in companies that:

  • have already selected their UNGC Engagement Tier - Signatory or Participant
  • have sent at least one COP - Communication on Progress to the UNGC
  • joined the UNGC before 30 September 2019 (Subsidiaries will be admitted if their Parent Company meets this requirement).
