Thus, ANEM has joined the greatest voluntary initiative in the field of corporate social responsibility, which comprises more than 5600 participants, including over 4300 businesses in 120 countries around the world.

Joining the membership of the United Nations Global Compact, ANEM is committing to support its ten Principles within the areas of human rights, labor, environmental standards and anti-corruption.
