Jesus Moreno honored by UN

The world's largest voluntary corporate sustainability initiative on a global level, with 8,000 signatories, the UN Global Compact in the Dominican Republic honored several business figures for their leadership in corporate responsibility. Representatives of Brugal, Helados Bon, Cemex Dominicana, Banco Caribe, AES Dominicana, Tabacalera Fuente, Odebrecht and Banco Popular were honored for their strategic vision, as reported in Listin Diario.

"Profits and yield are best secured when humans are committed to transcendental issues, to issues that truly impact the real development of people," said Jesus Moreno, president of Helados Bon upon being named Solidary Businessman for 2010. He was recognized for the contributions Bon has made to the environment. Others honored and speaking at the event were Claudio Castro Macedo of Odebrecht, Carlos Fuente of Tabacalera Fuente and Dennis Simo of Banco Caribe.

Launched in July 2000, the UN Global Compact is a leadership platform for the development, implementation and disclosure of responsible and sustainable corporate policies and practices. Endorsed by chief executives, it seeks to align business operations and strategies everywhere with ten universally accepted principles in the areas of human rights, labor, environment and anti-corruption
