Accuro Fiduciary has joined the United Nations Global Compact and the UN Global Compact Network UK - a voluntary leadership platform for developing, implementing, and disclosing responsible business practices.

Through this, Accuro said it is aligning its operations and strategies with universal principles on human rights, labour, environment and anti-corruption, and taking actions that advance societal goals embodied in the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

Xavier Isaac, Accuro's chief executive, said: “As a company fully owned by its management and staff, we like to use our independence and freedom of action to promote the responsible stewardship of our business based on UN SDGs and sound universally accepted principles.

“We believe it is also in the best interest of our clients for us to do so.”

Launched in 2000, the UN Global Compact has over 12,000 companies and 3,500 non-business signatories based in over 160 countries, and 69 local networks.
