In September 2024, the UN Global Compact announced twelve new SDG Pioneers - entrepreneurs and employees who are particularly committed to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by implementing the ten principles of the UN Global Compact in the areas of human rights, environment, labor and anti-corruption.

One of these pioneers is Andreas Schrägle, Managing Director of RATHGEBER GmbH & Co. KG.

The award winners come from different regions of the world. Sanda Ojiambo, CEO of the UN Global Compact, emphasized the role model function of these pioneers. The UN Global Compact is the largest sustainability initiative worldwide with over 20,000 participating companies.
