ODU, leading manufacturer of connector systems, has joined the United Nations Global Compact (UNGC), the world’s largest sustainability and corporate responsibility initiative.
The Global Compact unites over 26,000 companies and organizations from more than 160 countries, all committed to ten universally recognized principles covering human rights, labour standards, environmental protection, and anti-corruption.
“As an international company, we are responsible not only for our employees, but also for our customers and the environment,” states ODU Group Managing Director Dr.Josef Leitner. “Joining the UN Global Compact is the next logical step on our mission to become ever more sustainable in our operations. Being part of that network strongly reflects our values.”
For years, ODU has been implementing a wide range of sustainability measures that reflect its commitment to environmental, social, and economic responsibility. These initiatives demonstrate that sustainability is central to ODU’s values and embedded in its daily decisions and workflow. For more information, visit our sustainability page.
One of the main benefits of the UN Global Compact is that it establishes a strategic framework that ODU can apply to expand and regularly review its sustainability efforts.
By joining the UNGC, ODU sends a clear signal to customers and partners that, while strengthening its market position, sustainability is an increasingly important competitive factor.
