Clarios Bolsters Commitment to Corporate Sustainability by Joining the UN Global Compact

Milwaukee, WI (ots) - Clarios (https://www.clarios.com/) , a leader in advanced energy storage solutions, has joined the United Nations Global Compact (https://www.unglobalcompact.org/) - a voluntary initiative that encourages companies to develop, implement and disclose responsible business practices. By joining the compact, Clarios pledges to lead on 10 universal sustainability principles and uphold responsibilities in four areas: human rights, labor, environment and anti-corruption.

"The Compact's mission and principles directly align with Clarios' values and our blueprint for a more sustainable future," said Adam Muellerweiss, Clarios' executive director of sustainability, industry and government relations. "We are committed to further integrating these principles into our strategy, culture and day-to-day operations, to ensure our business practices continue to be good for people, the planet and business."

Joining the compact reflects the company's decades-long commitment to corporate sustainability and environmental stewardship. Clarios has established one of the world's most successful examples of a circular economy by designing and manufacturing automotive batteries that are up to 99 percent recyclable. Clarios is also a founding member of the Responsible Battery Coalition, uniting businesses, academics and organizations to promote responsible management of today's and tomorrow's batteries.

Launched in 2000, the UN Global Compact is the largest corporate sustainability initiative in the world, with more than 9,500 companies and 3,000 non-business signatories based in over 150 countries and more than 70 local networks.
