The Romco Group has become a signatory of the UN Global Compact, as of April 19, 2021, committing to the UN Global Compact corporate responsibility initiative and its principles in the areas of human rights, labour, the environment and anti-corruption.

The UN Global Compact is the world’s largest social responsibility initiative with more than 10,000 participants from 160 countries. UN Global Compact is based on 10 principles – and the group’s participation in the UN Global Compact means that they are committed to operating the business in accordance with those principles (outlined below) and will be reporting their progress in a Communication On Progress annually to the UN.

A spokesperson for ROMCO said; “Today’s announcement is a natural extension of the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) framework that we already work within, and reflective of our long-term commitment to human rights, labour standards, the environment and anti-corruption.

As growing recyclers on the African continent, we work hard to demonstrate a sustainable and ethical approach to building the industry and communities we work in. Through this work, we currently measure impact on 12 of the 17 SDG’s. Signing the UN Global Compact builds on our commitment to work as a good actor in the sector, promoting sustainable growth and equity for the people, places, and planet we work within.
