Jereh Participates in UN Global Compact

On July 6th, 2014, Jereh Group’s application for the membership in the Global Compact was successfully accepted by United Nations. This participation in the Global Compact demonstrates Jereh’s commitment in the areas of human rights, labor, environment and anti-corruption.

 

Launched in July 2000, the UN Global Compact was first proposed by former UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan in 1999, which is committed to encouraging businesses worldwide to comply with the ten principles, and join together to reduce the happening of negative actions and achieve collective goals of international cooperation, peace and development. With over 12,000 corporate participants from over 145 countries, the Global Compact is now the largest voluntary corporate responsibility initiative in the world, including big players of Shell, ExxonMobil, CNPC and Sinopec.

 

“We regard this engagement as a mechanism to promote more responsible practices into day-to-day operations.“ said Sean Jiang, V.P of Jereh Group, ” And for Jereh, we have already set up systematic QHSE management and are continually focused on staff well being and social welfare. From 2012 to 2013, Jereh has been awarded ‘Happiest Enterprise in China’ and ‘Most Respected Listed Company in China’. Today, Jereh is serving customers in 61 countries with over 5000 employees around the world. By joining in the UN Global Compact, Jereh would do more to bring about more meaningful changes for the world.”
