Logo Policy
The UN Global Compact logo policy outlines the rules and guidelines for the appropriate use of its name and logo by participants, partners, and other stakeholders. As the logo is a registered property of the United Nations, its use is strictly regulated to maintain integrity and prevent misuse. The policy specifies the types of logos available for authorized use, such as the "We Support UN Global Compact" logo, and provides detailed instructions on reproduction, placement, and display standards.
It emphasizes that the logo must not imply endorsement or certification of any organization's activities, products, or services. Unauthorized or inappropriate use may result in corrective actions, including delisting. The document also highlights the importance of seeking prior written permission for logo use and adhering to brand guidelines.

Please note that the following conditions apply for the use of the Endorser logo:
- The logo must be placed in such a manner that it is clear from the context to which organization the “We” refers.
- The logo may not be sub-licensed to any other entity without the prior written consent of the UN Global Compact.
- The logo and UN Global Compact name are not to be used in any manner that suggests or implies that the UN Global Compact has endorsed or approved of the activities, products, and/or services of the organization, or that the UN Global Compact is the source of any such activities, products or services. Generally, per the Brand Guidelines, a participant’s logo should not be placed on the same level as the Endorser logo.
- Permission to use the Endorser logo lapses if the participant is delisted from the UN Global Compact.
- Participants and stakeholders that have been authorized to use the Endorser logo on their website are strongly encouraged to link the logo to the UN Global Compact homepage at www.unglobalcompact.org.
