In August 2009, Deutsche Börse Group joined the UN Global Compact, a voluntary business initiative of the United Nations. Its goal is to realise a more sustainable and more equitable global economy. Central to the compact are ten principles in the areas of human rights, labour standards, environmental protection and anti-corruption.

Responsible corporate governance is of key importance for Deutsche Börse Group. The company has upheld the Global Compact principles for many years – public records are available starting from when we officially joined the initiative. You can learn more about how we are implementing the UN Global Compact principles from the pages in this section as well as from our current corporate report.
