As part of its sustainability advocacy, Menar has joined the United Nations (UN) Global Compact initiative, becoming one of over 20 000 companies globally with a shared vision for a better world.

As a company involved in critical industries such as mining, minerals processing and logistics, Menar intends to use its membership as a platform to advocate for sustainable practices across all its operations.

The UN Global Compact is an initiative that encourages companies to make a positive impact through aligning their strategies and operations with the ten universally accepted principles relating to human rights, labour, environment, anti-corruption, and to take action in support of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

“We are proud to be part of a global community of organisations that support sustainable development. By embracing the UN Global Compact as an accountability partner, we are strengthening our sustainability stewardship and ensuring a positive impact for current and future generations," says Menar’s Sustainability Coordinator Neslihan Er Ogur.

Launched in 2000, the UN Global Compact is the largest corporate sustainability initiative in the world, with members based in over 160 countries and more than 60 Global Compact Networks. As a member, Menar will submit a mandatory Communication on Progress (CoP) report demonstrating its commitment to the UN Global Compact’s Ten Principles. This CoP report is required of all participating businesses and will be published annually on Menar’s profile page on the UN Global Compact website.

“Our commitment to the UN Global Compact and the Ten Principles is an important part of our journey to promote good stewardship and ethical business practices because we believe in building sustainable economies,” Menar’s Managing Director, Vuslat Bayoglu, concludes.
