UN Global Compact
Our work with UN Global Compact
We, as part of Lammhults Design Group, are proud to have adopted the UN Global Compact’s 10 principles for creating a more responsible and sustainable world. The 10 principles concern human rights, labour rights, environment and anti-corruption and derive from:
- Universal Declaration of Human Rights
