Created in 2000 by the United Nations, the Global Compact aims to encourage companies around the world to align their operations and strategies with the Ten Universal Principles in the areas of Human Rights, Labor, Environment and Anti-Corruption, as well as, with the 17 Sustainable Development Goals, which cover diverse priorities such as poverty reduction, gender equality, climate change and decent work, and equally, present a global strategy of individual and collective actions that are more universal than the previous Millennium Development Goals (MDG).
Thus, with the subscription to the Pact, BODIVA joins the 21 thousand members, including companies and organizations, distributed in 65 local networks, with coverage and engagement in around 162 countries, says the institution in a statement sent to VerAngola.
BODIVA is also a member of the SADC Committee on Stock Exchanges (COSSE), the Association of National Numbering Agencies (ANNA), the African Stock Exchanges Association (ASEA), the African and Middle East Depositories Association (AMEDA ) and the World Securities Exchange Association (WFE).
In the document, the Angolan stock exchange also states that active participation in the symposiums of these associations has been fundamental for the development of the national capital market and its instruments. With its recent integration into the United Nations Global Compact, it reinforces its commitment to the development of sustainable instruments in the national market.
