Following the Commitment Letter signed by the Vice President Mr Paolo Barilla, on December 15th, 2011, Barilla was officially welcome in the UN Global Compact (www.unglobalcompact.org) , the world largest Corporate Responsibility voluntary Initiative launched by the former United Nations Secretary - General Kofi Annan in 1999 and now lead by H.E. Ban Ki - Moon.
The company believes the inclusion in the UN Global Compact will constitute a great opportunity to share its experience in the field of sustainable business with other companies, Institutions and civil society worldwide. Meanwhile, it is convinced that this could create a long term business advantage in partnering with our suppliers and to meet People's needs in Barilla's operating countries.
As a member of the UN Global Compact, Barilla will also support the Italian Global Compact Local Network (http://www.globalcompactnetwork.org/it
).
