United People Global (UPG) is a community that encourages and enables people to participate in making the world a better place. We believe that all people have the power and the responsibility to participate in making the world a better place. The work of this global community is facilitated by United People Global Foundation, an independent not-for-profit organisation based in Geneva, Switzerland. UPG is not a political or religious organisation.
A business that is certified demonstrates awareness and leadership on a defining issue that is relevant locally and globally. Being on the correct side of the “frontline” strengthens your profile as a company that is making the world a better place.
