WindowMaster has joined the UN initiative for social responsibility - UN Global Compact. Hereby we are part of the world's largest network for social responsibility. A network that covers both governments, organizations and businesses and include thousands of companies around the world. UN Global Compact is a direct extension of WindowMaster work as a socially responsible company and with our participation, we have committed us to the 10 principles of sustainability and responsibility which the Global Compact is based on.
An annual CSR report
Our commitment to the UN Global Compact also involves an obligation to prepare an open and honest annual report on how we have succeeded in complying with our Code of Conduct. In the report we describe our progress during the year and also where we see opportunities to make improvements.
