Energean is a proud signatory of the United Nations Global Compact, a voluntary Corporate Responsibility initiative - the world's largest with over 9,000 business and non-business participants in 135 countries.
The Global Compact asks participating companies to pursue two complementary goals:
(1) internalize the Ten Principles within the company’s strategies, policies and operations, and
(2) undertake projects to advance the broader development goals of the United Nations, particularly the Sustainable Development Goals.
