At B+F we are convinced that companies have an important
role in the transformation of the planet, and for this reason, we decided to adhere to the
United Nations Global Compact,
in order to promote and further its principles and to achieve
the Sustainable Development goals for 2030.
What is the United Nations
Global Compact?
It is the UN initiative that leads corporate sustainability in the world.
It is, in short, a call to organizations to align their strategies with the 10 Universal Principles established by the UN. Doing this means that the company/organization works responsibly, since these 10 principles are related to human rights, the environment, labor, and the fight against corruption.
Through this pact, private sector companies have the possibility of aligning their business practices under objectives that seek equity and sustainability.
Also, by this being an UN sustainability initiative, the organization holds the United Nations mandate of acting as a catalyst in the efforts of companies and organizations in the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), of which we have spoken before. This means that they promote the SDGs in the private business sector.

| HUMAN RIGHTS |
We subscribe to the Ruggie principles in their three main foundations: the State’s duty to protect from and to warn citizens about human rights abuses, the responsibility of companies to respect human rights, and the need to help victims to get the restitution.
Based on these three pillars, at B + F we portray and put into practice a respect for human rights through these actions:
- We publicly assume a commitment to respect human rights;
- We identify the damage that certain activities cause to human rights;
- We educate our team to prevent, mitigate and, where appropriate, be accountable for the damage that may be caused to human rights.
