The UN welcomes Danske Bank to the Global Compact
Georg Kell, Executive Director, United Nations Global Compact, August 2007:
"The United Nations Global Compact is committed to connecting financial markets to a sustainable future. A better inclusion of environmental, social and governance (ESG) factors in finance will ultimately contribute to more stable and predictable markets, which is in the interest of all market actors.
Therefore we are very pleased to welcome Danske Bank as a new participant of the United Nations Global Compact."
