ebm‑papst Mulfingen GmbH & Co. KGaA & Co. KG has been an official signatory to the United Nations Global Compact (abbreviation: UN Global Compact). By voluntarily joining, ebm‑papst has become part of a global community of companies committed to responsible business practices.

The UN Global Compact calls on companies worldwide to align their activities and strategies with ten recognized principles in the areas of human rights, labor standards, the environment, and anti-corruption, and to take measures to support the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

Since its inception in 2000, the UN Global Compact has grown to become the world's largest corporate sustainability initiative, with more than 25,000 participating companies in 167 countries and 64 local networks.

By joining the UN Global Compact, we are once again anchoring the issue of sustainability in our company and thus also sending a clear signal to the outside world," explains Harald Klaiber, CFO of the ebm‑papst Group.
