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.
