DES PLAINES, Ill., Nov. 21, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Wheels announces joining and committing to the United Nations Global Compact initiative - a voluntary initiative for the development, implementation, and disclosure of responsible business practices.
Wheels joins other leading global companies that are committed to taking responsible business action to make a positive impact in the world.
The UN Global Compact is a call to companies everywhere to align their operations and strategies with ten universally accepted principles in the areas of human rights, labor, environment, and anti-corruption, and to take action in support of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
Launched in 2000, the UN Global Compact is the largest corporate sustainability initiative in the world, with more than 20,000 companies based in over 160 countries, and more than 60 Global Compact Networks.
"Joining the UNGC is another step that demonstrates Wheels' commitment to conducting business in a responsible way,” stated Shlomo Crandus, Wheels' CEO. "The UNGC principles align well with our values and programs we already have in place, like EcoWheels™, our fleet sustainability program, which helps us tailor solutions and products to meet our clients' unique needs. The principles provide a framework that will support our efforts to advance sustainable, responsible corporate practices that empower and benefit our Wheels community.”
