The 24th October is UN Day, and this year marks the 75th anniversary of the United Nations and its founding Charter.
As a business, Marshalls has been a signatory to the UN Global Compact since 2009. Part of this commitment is adopting the UNGC’s principles under the pillars of human rights, labour, environment and anti-corruption. This week, to commemorate the occasion, we have published a number of articles which look at the ways in which we are upholding these principles and working towards a better future. Click each heading below to read the article.
Human Rights – Marshalls’ Business and Human Rights Lead, Elaine Mitchel-Hill takes a look at how important it is to keep human rights on track during a pandemic.
Labour – With women making up only 25% of the workforce of the average manufacturing business, our Talent Director Lisa Villers shares some steps we’re taking at Marshalls to tackle gender balance.
Environment – Sustainability Director Chris Harrop OBE looks at why Marshalls is the first in the industry to commit to Science-Based Targets to tackle climate change.
