 # Media Advisory: New Leadership For A Global Crisis

 


 

 Apr 1, 2020 4:30 PM ET

  

The UN Global Compact has shared a special appeal for a corporate response to the COVID-19 pandemic: for all companies to take collective action to stem the outbreak through implementing our Ten Principles in the areas of human rights, labour, environment and anti-corruption. Businesses are also being called upon to stand together to facilitate business continuity for a fast recovery. Effectively addressing this crisis requires an active response from governments, business and the whole of society.

You are invited to register below for the first live session in a series of special live webinars that will highlight the existing and new approaches to leadership in a time of global crisis. In this session, you’ll hear from leaders in the United Nations, Government, and business, who will share their experiences of working to respond to COVID-19 and discuss how to pursue immediate and coordinated action across business, the UN system, and Government.

**Join the session to learn:**  
\- How business leaders can respond to the COVID-19 crisis  
\- How the Ten Principles can provide business leaders with a North Star  
\- How Governments and business can work together  
\- The impact COVID-19 will have on the Sustainable Development Goals

**Speakers:**  
\- Amina J Mohammed, UN Deputy Secretary-General  
\- Alan Jope, CEO of Unilever  
\- Lise Kingo, CEO & Executive Director of the UN Global Compact

**Time**:  
Apr 2, 2020 10:00 AM in Eastern Time (US and Canada)
