This paper aims to identify key challenges and opportunities introduced by the United Nations Global Compact to corporate leaders. Milton Friedman, a well-known economist at one time decades ago noted that the sole purpose of a business is to make profits. However as time has gone by, companies and corporations have moved away from that perspective to another. Companies are now more cornered with being socially visible and responsible. Organizations have changed from being financially motivated to being more human and this has changed how they and society perceive or view them. Certainly, the change also affects the kind of manpower that the company employs to run certain activities. The United Nations Global Compact develops the company’s image along with setting guidelines to be followed by members in order to progress the practices of the company or organization. This paper is going to evaluate the challenges and opportunities the United Nations Global Compact introduced to corporate leaders.

The United Nations Global Compact is the world’s largest initiative established by the United Nations to aid businesses in managing the risks and opportunities they are faced with in certain areas such as the environment, society, and authorities like regulations. Also, this initiative aims at incorporating their ten basic principles such as human rights, labor, environment, and anti-corruption as abiding by all businesses and societies for a common goal. This means that all organisations must abide by the basic principles that is to say they must all support and respect the protection of human rights, and they should uphold the freedom of association among so many others.
The United Nations Global Compact is sovereign of the government which necessitates that their rules and regulations are not government-delegated law yet it supports and is consistent with certain policies that primarily focus on the social responsibilities of an organization. The United Nations Global Compact develops the company’s image along with setting guidelines to be followed by members in order to progress the practices of the company or organization.
