United Nations Pact

United Nations Pact

Launched in 2000, the United Nations Global Compact is the world's largest corporate sustainability initiative. Currently, there are more than 13,000 member organizations in more than 160 countries and 69 local networks. In Spain, more than 1,720 organizations have joined the Spanish Global Compact Network, making it the Local Network with the largest number of member organizations and, therefore, the most important in the world.

One of the organizations that has joined this pact is Grupo Saona. For us, joining the Global Compact means that our company is committed to aligning our operations with ten universally accepted principles in the areas of human rights, labor standards, environment and anti-corruption, as well as taking action in support of the United Nations goals currently embodied in the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

At Grupo Saona we are 100% committed to the realization of our ESG project and the achievement of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals. We are very proud to be one of the first Spanish restaurant groups to join the Spanish network of the United Nations Compact as a Signatory member.

Grupo Saona launches a new recycling system

At Saona we care about sustainability and, for this reason, we have implemented a global recycling system throughout the company: in restaurants, offices and Sa Cuina.
