Multilateral Relationships

United Nations Global Compact (UNGC)
Access Bank became a signatory to the United Nations Global Compact (UNGC) in April 2009. The UNGC, which is now the world’s biggest and best supported Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) initiative offers 10 principles for signatory companies to follow, covering the environment, labour relations, human rights and anticorruption.

After our year of grace, we will communicate our activities through an annual Communications on Progress (COP) Report. The COP to the UNGC will outline Access Bank’s continued commitment to the Compact's philosophy, intent and principles. The document will highlight key actions implemented in 2009 against the Compact's ten principles as well as confirming our sustainability priorities and performance targets. www.unglobalcompact.org
