Irish corporate law firm McCann Fitzgerald has been announced as a participant in the UN Global Compact, an initiative for businesses to align the UN’s Ten Principles covering human rights, labour, the environment, and anti-corruption.

Businesses signed up with the company gain valuable guidance to advance their sustainability efforts to support the achievement of the UN's Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), foster networking opportunities, and drive continuous improvement and accountability.

As part of this initiative, businesses provide an annual Communication on Progress every July to transparently share their advancements.

“McCann FitzGerald is delighted to confirm that it is an official participant of the UN Global Compact. This is a further step in our Responsible Business Strategy setting a measurable path forward, enabling impactful growth for our firm and our clients," said Éamon Ó Cuiv, partner at McCann Fitzgerald.

"This dedication underscores our unwavering resolve to uphold the highest standards of corporate responsibility and sustainability.

"By aligning our strategies and operations with the Ten Principles of the UN Global Compact, we are not only fostering a better future for our business, but also contributing to a more sustainable and equitable world for all.

"While proud of the progress to date, McCann FitzGerald remains determined to go further. Becoming a participant of the compact also coincides with the launch of our Responsible Business Report.”

McCann FitzGerald said it is committed to reporting on its progress annually, transparently sharing actions and achievements to refine its impact and uphold its commitment to a sustainable and fair future.
