Rotterdam, Nederlands – December 12, 2005

Brodie Boland and Petr Skvaril attended the United Nations Global Compact Summit recently hosted in Shanghai. Along with hundreds of other senior leaders of China and the world's leading business and civil society organizations, they engaged in the Global Compact's dialogue around how business can contribute to the achievement of the Millennium Development Goals. The Global Compact is a coalition of organizations that voluntarily commit to adhering by ten principles of corporate responsibility.

The fact that the Summit took place in Shanghai was significant in that a number of Chinese organizations were present. It represented a major opportunity for both AIESEC and the Global Compact to deepen our reach and impact in one of the world's most dynamic economies.
