In line with this commitment, we are excited to announce our membership in the United Nations Global Compact and United Nations Global Compact Network UK. Joining the United Nations Global Compact signifies our determination to uphold the highest standards in doing the right thing for the people, the planet and our principles. As part of this network, we now have access to a robust framework that will guide us in tracking our progress and reporting our achievements annually to the UN Global Compact. In 2022, we launched Sustainability. by Kent, our sustainability strategy crafted to create meaningful change based on actions rather than talk. Based on three main pillars, Sustainability. by Kent deep-dives into our business operations to understand and work on the areas where we can make the biggest impact and change for the better. By empowering people to prosper, supporting a thriving planet, and living every day with purpose and principles, we are directly contributing to more than half of the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals. Emma Scott, VP of Sustainability at Kent, says: > “We are proud to join the UN Global Compact and be part of a global movement dedicated to making a positive difference. We are committed to continuing our sustainability journey and using this membership as an opportunity to learn, collaborate and drive meaningful change for the benefit of our people and our planet.” To learn more about Sustainability. by Kent and our ongoing commitment to creating a more sustainable future, [click here.](https://kent.nzi.me/sustainability) Share this story [LinkedIn](https://www.linkedin.com/shareArticle?mini=true&url=https%3A%2F%2Fkent.nzi.me%2Fnews-insights%2Fkent-becomes-a-member-of-the-united-nations-global-compact-and-united-nations-global-compact-network-uk) [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/sharer/sharer.php?u=https://kent.nzi.me/news-insights/kent-becomes-a-member-of-the-united-nations-global-compact-and-united-nations-global-compact-network-uk) [X](https://x.com/intent/tweet?url=https://kent.nzi.me/news-insights/kent-becomes-a-member-of-the-united-nations-global-compact-and-united-nations-global-compact-network-uk&text=Kent%20becomes%20a%20member%20of%20the%20United%20Nations%20Global%20Compact%20and%20United%20Nations%20Global%20Compact%20Network%20UK) Related Blogs ## You might also like [![Earth Day thumbnail]()](https://kent.nzi.me/news-insights/join-the-global-movement-for-earth-day-2024)Sustainability. by Kent [Join the Global Movement for Earth Day 2024 ](https://kent.nzi.me/news-insights/join-the-global-movement-for-earth-day-2024)Join the Global Movement for Earth Day 2024 [Read article](https://kent.nzi.me/news-insights/join-the-global-movement-for-earth-day-2024) [![Emma Scott from Kent talks to EIC about sustainability thumbnail]()](https://kent.nzi.me/news-insights/driving-sustainability-what-is-your-primary-focus-in-2024)Press Releases & Featured Stories [Driving sustainability: What is your primary focus in 2024? ](https://kent.nzi.me/news-insights/driving-sustainability-what-is-your-primary-focus-in-2024)Emma Scott speaks to the EIC about the progress of Sustainability. by Kent.
