Versar has signed the United Nations Global Compact, joining over 9,700 companies in 164 countries that are mobilizing to create a more ethical and sustainable world. The global compact is a voluntary commitment to align business operations and strategies with ten universally accepted principles in the areas of human rights, labor, environment and anti-corruption, and to take actions in support of UN goals, including the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
“Versar is committed to doing business with the highest integrity. Our goal is to exceed minimum compliance requirements and demonstrate leadership in every country where we operate,” said Jim Stamatis, Versar’s chief executive officer. “By joining the UN Global Compact, we are further demonstrating our commitment to responsible business practices and continuous improvement.”
Over the past several years, Versar has invested heavily in developing a world-class compliance and ethics program. Versar’s biennial Corporate Citizenship and Sustainability Report highlights these investments and describes the steps Versar has taken to operate sustainability, including the introduction of our Global Sustainability Commitment.
The UN Global Compact and SDGs align with Versar’s mission and promise to deliver Solutions for a better world. Versar is committed to collaborating with the UN Global compact and other organizations to advance these goals.
