Clinical trial technology leader joins global initiative to embed UN principles into corporate strategy, culture, and daily operations
MALVERN, Pa., Dec. 17, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- YPrime, the leading pioneer in clinical trial technology, today announced its formal commitment to the United Nations (UN) Global Compact, joining thousands of companies worldwide in advancing universal sustainability principles. This strategic decision reinforces YPrime's dedication to responsible business practices while advancing its goal of bringing life-changing therapies to patients.
"By joining the UN Global Compact, we are pledging to integrate sustainable and ethical practices into every aspect of our operations," said Jim Corrigan, YPrime's Chief Executive Officer. "Our mission has always been to accelerate the delivery of life-changing therapies to patients, and this initiative extends naturally to ensuring we do so in a way that respects human rights, promotes fair labor practices, protects our environment, and upholds the highest standards of business integrity."
The Ten Principles of the UN Global Compact focus on human rights, labor, environment, and anti-corruption and align closely with YPrime's core values and culture. "At YPrime, we believe that technology can be a powerful force for positive change in clinical research," Corrigan added. "This partnership with the UN strengthens our drive to develop solutions that not only advance clinical research but do so in a way that benefits society as a whole, particularly in making clinical trials more accessible and inclusive for all populations."
YPrime's participation in the UN Global Compact principles and goals reflects its longstanding culture of putting patients first. The company's daily work directly impacts patients and their caregivers, making every technology solution and service delivery a potential turning point in someone's life. This human-centric approach naturally extends to the broader principles of sustainability and social responsibility championed by the UN Global Compact, including the crucial goal of expanding access to clinical trials across diverse communities and populations.
Pledging to the UN Global Compact is a crucial component of YPrime's expanding sustainability program, which includes targeted efforts to reduce environmental impact, enhance social responsibility, and maintain transparent governance practices. YPrime will integrate the UN Global Compact principles into its business strategy, day-to-day operations, and organizational culture as part of this initiative.
