It is a set of global objectives to eradicate poverty, protect the planet and ensure prosperity as part of a new agenda towards 2030.<\/p><p>\u201cIt is always a joy when an organization decides to join the UN Global Compact network, because in addition to expanding its horizons by engaging with the largest sustainability network in the world, it also affirms its commitment to the Sustainable Development Goals and responsible practice of their business. In the specific case of Latcom, we are gratified that it is an advertising company specializing in media that reaches audiences outside their home, as we are convinced that they will be able to amplify this message, it is only by working together, companies, governments and the United Nations that we can build the world we want\u201d, says Flavio Fuertes, Executive Director of the Global Compact Argentina.<\/p><p>The meeting was attended by Flavio Fuertes, Executive Director and Marcelo L\u00f3pez, Head of Contributions and Training Programs of the Argentine Network of the Global Compact, as well as the directors of Latcom Fernando Vizca\u00edno, General Manager, Karina V\u00e1zquez, Commercial Director LATAM and LATAM USA, Mart\u00edn Sauco, Financial Director, Gustavo Calderale, Director of Operations, Evangelina Sobrino, Operations Manager, Wendy M\u00e9ndez Casariego, Marketing Manager and Sol Fenoglio HRBP Manager of Latcom. In addition, Milagros Hidalgo, Coordinator of the Fundaci\u00f3n Gestionar Esperanzas, was present.<\/p><p>\u201cIt gives me great pride to have joined the Argentine Chapter of the United Nations Global Compact because LATCOM, as a company, believes in and actively works towards these Principles every day through \u2018Una Vuelta +\u2019 and \u2018One Hour to Save the World\u2019, two of our initiatives under FGE -Fundaci\u00f3n Gestionar Esperanzas-. We\u2019ve been passionately working on these initiatives in Argentina, Latin America and several other countries around the globe because we deeply share the values \u200b\u200bto which the network aims. We believe it is crucial to continually generate awareness of the relevance of these principles in each and every one of us and together, carry it forward to the rest of the world\u201d, says Valent\u00edn Bueno, CEO of Latcom.<\/p><p>For his part, Fernando Vizca\u00edno, General Manager of Latcom remarked that \u201cit was a pleasure to host Flavio and Marcelo, with whom we had a very productive meeting that generated great enthusiasm for Latcom\u2019s commitment to these 10 principles and the United Nations Global Compact\u201d.<\/p><p>In this context, Latcom continues to increase its circular economy program \u201cUna vuelta +\u201d which, through the recycling of material from OOH advertising campaigns, has generated job opportunities in vulnerable communities in Latin America since 2020 and in addition, reduces environmental impact. This initiative was born in 2012 with a focus on recycling banner material from advertising campaigns that were then distributed in community kitchens, since the project has evolved to become a tool for economic growth, social inclusion and care for the environment.<\/p><p>The UN Global Compact is supported by the United Nations and includes the principles and values \u200b\u200bof the Organization. As a result, it is uniquely positioned to foster this collaboration with the aim of achieving and increasing solutions that address global challenges. The Compact is based on the vision of former United Nations Secretary-General Kofi Annan, who, at the 1999 World Economic Forum, called on business leaders to partner with the Organization to create \u201cglobal impact\u201d in a matter of shared values \u200b\u200band principles to contribute a human facet to the global market. Today, the Global Compact plays a crucial role in strengthening business collaboration with the United Nations.<\/p><p>THE 10 PRINCIPLES OF THE UN GLOBAL COMPACT<br \/>The 10 principles of the UN Global Compact, derived from United Nations conventions and declarations, are recognized and endorsed by numerous intergovernmental outcome documents and resolutions, including General Assembly resolutions.
