NAC Announces its Participation as a U.N. Global Compact Signatory
(CSRwire) DUNCANSVILLE, PA., – June 24, 2008 — Robert Herman, COO, North American
Communications, Inc. proudly announces its commitment to the United Nations
Global Compact. "NAC has been built upon doing the right thing, for our
customers, employees, and the community. We have pioneered programs that
are based solely improving the human condition. With this in mind, we are
proud to be the first in the direct marketing industry to have signed the
Global Compact." The UN Global Compact is a voluntary framework to promote
the incorporation of ten principles in the areas of human rights, labor,
environment, and anti-corruption into business strategies and
operations.
Since its inception, NAC has maintained the philosophy to operate our
privately held corporation in a responsible, ethical manner. Through
policies such as our Domestic Abuse Leave, for example, we aim to create a
safe and supportive work environment. Recently NAC became certified by the
Forest Stewardship Council, adding to the many ways that we work towards
environmental stewardship. And NAC supports programs in our communities,
such as Cribs for Kids, and abroad, such as Bead for Life, that work to
create a more socially just world. We realize that it is critical to
engage with stakeholders, communities and other interested parties in
order to gain insight into how we can become better partners and
neighbors.
To this end we have joined with over 4000 other companies in 116 countries
as a signatory to the UN Global Compact. By committing our company to act
in a socially and environmentally responsible manner, we aim to build
trust and social capital, in turn contributing to broad based development
and sustainable markets. This voluntary initiative is self-regulated,
relying on public accountability, transparency, and the self-interest of
the company to adhere to the ten core principles. Each year we will
publish a Communications on Progress to inform our stakeholders of the
steps that we have taken to achieve our goals.
