Nuremberg, Germany – October 20, 2021 – Exasol, the high-performance analytical database, today announced that it has joined the United Nations (UN) Global Compact, the world’s largest voluntary sustainability initiative, as a signatory.

“We are proud to have been accepted into the United Nations Global Compact. The program requires signatories to commit to ten principles that protect the environment, respect human and labor rights and fight corruption. We believe these ten principles are fundamental for business in general and how we work at Exasol in particular, so joining the United Nations Global Compact is an important way for us to formalize this commitment, ”said Aaron Auld, CEO of Exasol.

The United Nations Global Compact challenges companies to conduct their business responsibly by aligning their operations and strategies with the ten principles of the United Nations. It also commits companies to take action to promote broader social benefits, in line with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). By incorporating the ten principles of the United Nations Global Compact into business operations, companies not only fulfill their fundamental responsibilities to the societies in which they operate, but also set the stage for long-term success.

With over 14,000 companies in over 160 participating countries, the United Nations Global Compact holds signatories and participants to the highest sustainability standards.

“We recently stepped up our efforts around all of our corporate social responsibility initiatives, including going carbon neutral for 2019 and 2020, our commitment to reduce our carbon footprint by 42% by 2030 and the launch of our program. #IAmChange, which shows how Exasolians make a personal impact. Joining the United Nations Global Compact is a big step towards a more sustainable enterprise, ”added Auld.
