The Global Compact unites over 26,000 companies and organisations from more than 160 countries, all committed to 10 universally recognised principles covering human rights, labour standards, environmental protection and anti-corruption. 

ODU Group Managing Director Dr Josef Leitner said: “As an international company, we are responsible not only for our employees but also for our customers and the environment. Joining the UN Global Compact is the next logical step on our mission to become ever more sustainable in our operations. Being part of that network strongly reflects our values.”
