  Campaign:  [UN Global Compact Leaders Summit 2013: Architects of a Better World](/node/35509)  

In a piece for Guardian Sustainable Business, UN Global Compact Executive Director Georg Kell states that China is serious about changing course when it comes to environmental concerns -- and business will play its part. Kell's article follows a major [summit in China](http://www.unglobalcompact.org/news/351-07-30-2013) on [Caring for Climate](http://www.caringforclimate.org) - a joint initiative of the UN Global Compact, UNEP and UNFCCC to scale up corporate climate action - in which major Chinese companies committed to address climate change.

**About The United Nations Global Compact**  
Launched in 2000, the United Nations Global Compact is both a policy platform and a practical framework for companies that are committed to sustainability and responsible business practices. As a multi-stakeholder leadership initiative, it seeks to align business operations and strategies with ten universally accepted principles in the areas of human rights, labour, environment and anti-corruption and to catalyze actions in support of broader UN goals. With more than 7,500 corporate signatories in over 140 countries, it is the world’s largest voluntary corporate sustainability initiative.[www.unglobalcompact.org](http://www.unglobalcompact.org/)
