Why do companies join the United Nations Global Compact?

Because participation goes beyond public commitment. It provides structure, peer learning, and practical pathways to strengthen governance, manage risk, and deliver measurable sustainability outcomes.

Through Global Compact Network Kenya, participating companies engage locally while aligning with globally recognized principles that support long-term resilience, responsible growth, and credibility with stakeholders.

Sustainability in 2026 is shifting from words to outcomes:

What's out:
❌ Pledges without evidence
❌ Sustainability as a side project
❌ Waiting for policy to act

What's in:
✔️ Action over ambition
✔️ Sustainability as business strategy
✔️ Transparency that builds trust

For businesses, credibility in 2026 will be defined by measurable progress, accountability, and long-term value creation.

Global Compact Network Kenya is advancing strategic partnerships for unlocking shared value and accelerating progress on the SDGs.

Yesterday, we were privileged to host Mwongera Mutiga, Executive Director of Oxfam Kenya, and Sakwa Masai, Private Sector Engagement Advisor & Security Focal Point, for a strategic partnership exploration meeting.

Our discussions focused on how the private sector, development partners, and global frameworks can work more intentionally together to advance responsible business conduct, strengthen accountability, and deliver inclusive and sustainable development outcomes. We explored opportunities to align Oxfam’s deep community-level insights and advocacy expertise with the United Nations Global Compact's business engagement platforms- bridging policy, practice, and impact.

The conversation highlighted the importance of moving beyond dialogue to action: co-creating initiatives that support ethical value chains, promote decent work and living wages, advance gender equality, strengthen climate resilience, and elevate community voices in business decision-making. We also reflected on the role of collective action in tackling systemic risks and ensuring that sustainability commitments translate into tangible benefits for people and communities.

Yesterday in Kilifi, we convened an Ocean Centres Kenya workshop on Strengthening Ocean Safety and Governance in Kenya’s Marine Fisheries, bringing together government representatives, community leaders, practitioners and partners committed to safer and more resilient marine fisheries.

Ocean Centres Kenya workshop on Strengthening Ocean Safety and Governance in Kenya’s Marine Fisheries, bringing together government representatives, community leaders, practitioners and partners committed to safer and more resilient marine fisheries.

Opening the workshop, Judy Njino, Executive Director of Global Compact Network Kenya, reaffirmed that ocean safety is not abstract. It is lived daily by fishers, processors and coastal communities whose livelihoods depend on the sea. Strengthening safety and governance therefore requires coordinated action across government, business and communities, grounded in local realities and informed by global best practice.

The workshop, with Olive Mumbo as Country Lead, formed part of the Ocean Centres Kenya programme, a partnership initiative of the United Nations Global Compact’s Ocean Stewardship Coalition and Lloyd's Register Foundation.

Since the launch of Ocean Centres Kenya in August 2025, four workshops have brought diverse stakeholders together to surface risks, share practical insights and strengthen collaboration across Kenya’s marine fisheries sector. This final convening of the year closed 2025 with a strong foundation for continued engagement.

We thank our speakers and moderator for their contributions:

▪️ Alan McCulla OBE, International Fund for Fishing Safety

▪️ Duncan Spencer, Institution of Occupational Safety and Health (IOSH)

▪️ Elisha Shehan, Directorate of Blue Economy and Fisheries, Kilifi County

▪️ Jane Sidi, Deputy Speaker, Kenya Young Members of County Assemblies, Moderator

As Ocean Centres Kenya looks ahead to 2026, the focus remains on deepening collaboration, strengthening safety leadership and advancing practical, locally driven solutions that protect both people and the ocean.

Last week, Global Compact Network Kenya joined partners at the Africa Business Ethics Conference for a technical working session focused on strengthening private sector collective action on integrity, in line with Principle 10 of the United Nations Global Compact which calls on businesses to work against corruption in all its forms.

The data shared was a strong reminder of the work ahead:
• The average bribe has dropped from KES 11,625 to 4,878, but the number of Kenyans paying bribes has risen from 17.7% to 25.4%.
• Companies report engaging in corruption to outpace competitors at 63%, avoid harassment at 47%, or due to coercion at 38%.

When corruption touches more people, even in smaller amounts, it becomes normal quickly and weakens the entire system.

Leaders from ABEC, the Federation of Kenya Employers, the Kenya Revenue Authority, the Institute of Economic Affairs, the Kenya Association of Manufacturers, Transparency International Kenya, Strathmore University, the Sanlam Alliance, the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime, youth networks and others reflected on what must shift. Integrity grows when the systems around it reward responsible behaviour rather than short term shortcuts.

Key actions that emerged included,
• Using data to show the real cost of corruption on business and society.
• Advancing reforms with clear value for business such as e procurement.
• Reducing the personal and professional risk of speaking up through predictable and transparent processes.
• Moving youth from symbolic involvement to meaningful leadership roles.

Kenya has many integrity champions. Our collective task now is to build the structures that make integrity the low cost, high reward choice for companies and citizens.

Global Compact Network Kenya remains committed to supporting the private sector to lead with transparency, responsibility and long term value.

Human rights sit at the centre of inclusive societies and sustainable business. As we mark Human Rights Day, we encourage companies in Kenya to embed human rights due diligence across their operations and supply chains. This strengthens trust, supports competitiveness and ensures that business decisions respect the dignity and rights of all people.

To support companies on this journey, the United Nations Global Compact offers the 𝐁𝐮𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐇𝐮𝐦𝐚𝐧 𝐑𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭𝐬 𝐀𝐜𝐜𝐞𝐥𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐨𝐫, a six-month programme that helps businesses identify their human rights impacts, establish an ongoing due diligence process, and develop concrete actions aligned with the UN Guiding Principles.

Participating companies learn how to integrate findings into operations, engage stakeholders, understand remedy mechanisms, and track and communicate progress with clarity.

Sign up for the Business and Human Rights Accelerator and advance your company’s human rights efforts: https://unglobalcompact.org/take-action/business-and-human-rights
