Recently, Jingtian & Gongcheng signed an agreement with the Foundation for United Nations Global, according to which Jingtian & Gongcheng will become the United Nations Global Compact’s Exclusive Cooperative Law Firm in Mainland China within the agreed service scope and time. Jingtian & Gongcheng will provide comprehensive public welfare legal services for the United Nations Global Compact.

The United Nations Global Compact is currently the largest and most influential United Nations organization around the world, aiming at promoting sustainable development and social responsibility of enterprises. It is also a bridge connecting the United Nations with the business community, non-governmental organizations and other stakeholders. The United Nations Global Compact was officially launched in 2000 by Kofi Annan, former Secretary-General of the United Nations. Its aims to call on the United Nations and governments of all countries to join hands with enterprises to jointly address various challenges in the process of globalization and to participate in solving a series of major world problems that mankind is facing together. The United Nations Global Compact currently has nearly 10,000 corporate members and more than 3,000 non-corporate members worldwide. Through its Global Compact local networks in about 70 countries and regions around the world, the United Nations Global Compact provides a platform for enterprises to communicate, exchange, learn and cooperate regionally and internationally in the field of sustainable development. In recent years, the United Nations Global Compact is actively carrying out sustainable development-related activities in China to help more Chinese enterprises and lead them to participate in broader global actions for sustainable development. Enterprises can further strengthen their own sustainable development level and international competitiveness by participating in the global action platform of the United Nations Global Compact, discussions on high-level topics, courses and training of the Global Compact Academy, regional and global conferences, etc. On the one hand, they can absorb advanced international sustainable development concepts and practices, and on the other hand, they can actively contribute Chinese wisdom and share their own Chinese experiences with others, so as to help the United Nations to promote the early realization of the 2030 sustainable development agenda.

Jingtian & Gongcheng highly respect the purpose and career of the United Nations Global Compact and actively serve various sustainable development projects to promote international cooperation among commercial organizations. With excellent legal service, Jingtian & Gongcheng is very honored to be a partner of the United Nations Global Compact, and has selected partners and lawyers with rich legal service experience in public welfare projects, corporate business, intellectual property, dispute resolution and other fields to form an elite service team to stand by at any time.
