CATIE (Tropical Agricultural Research and Education Center) has joined the United Nations Global Compact, an international initiative for organizations that are willing to make a voluntary commitment to pursue socially responsible policies through the adoption of 10 universally accepted principles in the areas of human rights, labor, the environment and anti-corruption.
CATIE’s acceptance to this initiative was officially confirmed by the UN in a letter welcoming the institution to the Global Compact. The letter states: “We believe that business practices rooted in universal principles help the global market to be more socially and economically responsible. Indeed, the companies and other organizations that participate in the Global Compact are working diligently to give practical meaning to those principles, thereby advancing the collective goals of international cooperation, peace and development.”
