Symphony, a prominent technology platform and market infrastructure provider, has joined the United Nations Global Compact. This is a voluntary initiative that encourages companies to showcase their responsible business practices through development, implementation, and disclosure.

By joining the UN Global Compact, Symphony joins numerous other organisations around the world that share its commitment to responsible business practices for a sustainable future.

Brad Levy, Symphony's CEO, expressed his pride in the company's efforts to prioritise sustainability and ESG matters over the past year. Symphony aims to make deliberate and consistent internal improvements while also supporting its clients' and investors' ESG journeys. Levy assured the community that Symphony adheres to internationally recognised principles on labour, human rights, the environment, and anti-corruption.
