Helping companies lead on equity and inclusion.
The Nordic Programme on Non-Discrimination is designed to support Nordic businesses in advancing equality and inclusion across their operations. If your company is ready to take meaningful steps to identify, assess, and address discrimination-related risks, this programme will guide you through the process with practical tools and expert insights.
Through five expert-led sessions, peer learning opportunities, and individual work, participants will gain a solid understanding of how to assess their impact, prioritize action, and embed non-discrimination across the workplace, supply chains, and communities.
The programme will be held online in English.
The programme is open and free of charge to UN Global Compact participants in Denmark, Finland, Iceland, and Sweden. Please note that submitting an application does not guarantee participation. The registration period is open until 16 June 2025.
