United Nations’ Global Compact (UNGC)

ECOFACT is a signatory to the United Nations’ Global Compact.

The Global Compact is a framework for businesses that are committed to aligning their operations and strategies with ten universally accepted principles in the areas of human rights, labor, the environment and anti-corruption. The Global Compact is the world's largest global corporate citizenship initiative.

By becoming a signatory, ECOFACT has committed itself to ensuring that the Global Compact’s ten principles are an integral part of the company’s management, strategy, culture and daily operations. Furthermore, ECOFACT will issue a Communication on Progress Report, which will be shared with the public.

Related Services

In addition to incorporating the ten principles into our strategy and daily operations, we also provide the RepRisk tool, which helps the Global Compact community to evaluate whether companies violate those same principles. RepRisk's assessment of the environmental and social performance of a company is based on the company's activities in the field as observed by independent third parties, and is not derived from information provided by the company itself. For details please visit our website (www.reprisk.com).

For more information on ECOFACT’s Global Compact initiatives and commitments, please contact Charlotte Mansson (), our Global Compact Manager.

Principles for Responsible Investment (PRI)

ECOFACT fully adheres to the Principles for Responsible Investment (PRI), and is proud of being one of their signatories.

The Principles for Responsible Investment are an investor initiative, in partnership with the UNEP Finance Initiative and the UN Global Compact. The Principles provide a framework for incorporating environmental, social and corporate governance (ESG) factors into investment decisions, and recognize that ESG issues can have an impact on the performance of investment portfolios. By adhering to the Principles, investors aim to engage with companies to influence their ESG performance, helping to bring about better long-term financial returns and improved accountability.

Related Services

ECOFACT provides the web-based tool RepRisk, which helps to incorporate environmental, social and reputational risks into investment analysis, and allows for the easy identification of companies that grossly violate international standards. Investors also use RepRisk as a basis for ESG-related engagement with companies in their portfolios, therefore contributing to improved performance. For details please visit our website (www.reprisk.com).

For more information on ECOFACT’s services for PRI signatories, please contact Raul Manjarin (), our PRI Manager.
