The World for People Foundation (www.worldforpeople.org) has officially joined the United Nations Global Compact (www.unglobalcompact.org), the strategic alliance which is made up of both businesses and non-profit organisations and which embraces a set of core values in the areas of human rights, labour standards, the environment and anti-corruption.

In this way, the businesses and the organisations which lead the process of globalisation can  contribute to ensuring that the markets, commerce, technology and finance develop in a way which combines economic and social growth.

The World for People Foundation operates through concrete projects, with minimum environmental impact, designed to increase the well-being of disadvantaged communities.

Alfonso Galdi, the president of the Foundation,  declared “The Foundation is proud to have joined this network and to contribute to the spread of the principles of the Global Compact, which is a powerful tool for the promotion of a more inclusive and sustainable model of economic development. This membership of the Global Compact reinforces the principles and values of the World for People Foundation which  has as its objective the long term and sustainable increase of people’s living standards.”
