UN Global Compact Leaders Summit 2013

The UN Global Compact Leaders Summit will meet from 19-20 September 2013, at the Grand Hyatt in New York City, US, to coincide with the opening of the 68th Session of the UN General Assembly (UNGA). Held every three years, this invitation-only event brings together chief executives, and representatives of civil society, governments and the UN. Chaired by UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon, this year's Leaders Summit – held on the theme “Architects of a Better World” – aims to link the UN's universal values with a new global architecture for corporate sustainability. As the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) 2015 deadline approaches, the Summit will set the stage for business to shape and advance the post-2015 development agenda, and forward an architecture for business to contribute to global priorities.
