The objective of this publication of Impact Stories is to showcase the tangible, real-world impact of instances when companies raise their ambition on sustainability with approaches anchored in the programmes, initiatives and framework of the UN Global Compact and its Country Networks. By engaging meaningfully with us, companies around the Asia & Oceania region have moved from rhetoric to action. These Impact Stories reflect our collective commitment to make a difference, create a community of committed companies and inspire others.

These narratives of resilience, innovation, inspiration and collaboration showcase how businesses, regardless of their size or industry, can drive significant change through sustainable practices and a commitment to social responsibility.

As you read through this collection of Impact Stories, we hope you gain valuable insights and are inspired to champion sustainability within your own spheres of influence. The journey towards a more sustainable and equitable world is a collective effort, and it is our hope that these stories ignite a sense of possibility and purpose in each reader.

We extend our deepest gratitude to the companies featured here for sharing their journeys and inspiring Impact Stories with us.
