CIMA is a signatory to the UN Global Compact, as are many of the leading businesses where our members work. Being a part of the Global Compact is a voluntary commitment to upholding the initiative's Ten Principles, in order to promote good corporate citizenship and sustainable business.

CIMA is connected to the local Global Compact UK network but occasionally, as a global organisation, engages with other networks around the globe. As a non-business signatory, CIMA is required to submit a ‘Communication on Engagement’. In this document you can read about our education and applied research in areas related to the initiative, and dissemination of the Ten Principles.

See how CIMA supports the UNGC principles in the most recent 'Communication on Engagement', or find out more about the initiative on the Global Compact website.
