The United Nations Global Compact (UNGC) is the world's largest enterprise sustainable development alliance directly under the UN. It was proposed by former Secretary-General Annan and officially established in 2000. To advance the implementation of the Global Compact, the United Nations has established the Global Compact Office and established a working team with the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights, the International Labour Organization, the United Nations Environment Programme, the United Nations Development Programme and the United Nations Industrial Development Organization. To date, UNGC members have spread to 170 countries around the world, and more than 12,000 organizations (9000 for-profit organizations and 4,000 non-profit organizations) have joined the UN Global Compact. UNGC's services include education, environment, justice and finance, including HP, HSBC, China Association of Listed Companies, and more than 100 universities around the world.


In order to ensure that students are built to meet the needs of the global economy, the Telfort Education Group joined the UNGC in August 2016 to encourage employees and students to actively participate in the alliance activities, and to integrate the content and case of the contract into the teaching.


After more than a year of hard work by the group's teachers and students, in January 2018, "Telfort Business Institute" was officially certified as a member by the UN Principles for Responsible Management Education (UN PRME).
