Lisbon European Green Capital 2020 Commitment

In 2020 Lisbon is European Green Capital. This distinction aims to recognize the transformation of the city in the last decade and renew the commitment to achieve a better urban environment by 2030. Based on this ambition, the municipality launched the challenge to the city, to companies, organizations, associations and institutions, public and private, to subscribe to the Lisbon European Green Capital 2020 Commitment - Climatic Action Lisbon 2030, with an ambitious agenda for the next 10 years.

NOS joined the Lisbon City Hall and signed the Commitment, with 14 proposals involving specific actions on several fronts, such as circular economy, mobility, energy, awareness and mobilization.

United Nations Global Compact

The United Nations Global Compact is an initiative in corporate citizenship founded on ten key Principles in the areas of human rights, labor practices, environmental protection and anti-corruption, and aims at encouraging a public and voluntary commitment by companies to adhere to them.

Its ten principles are based on universally accepted declarations, namely the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the Declaration of the International Labor Organization in relation to Fundamental Principles and Rights at work, and the Rio Declaration on the Environment and Development.

NOS signed up to this initiative in 2014, and this year it also became a member of the Global Compact Network Portugal (UN GCNP), the network that brings together the signatories to the initiative that operate in Portugal.
