Topics covered in the roundtable included women’s empowerment, “decent work,” education and job creation. The event was touted by the UNGC as evidence of a renewed “commitment” to sustainability among Ethiopian companies and roughly coincided with the release of the UNGC’s new Africa Strategy document, Partners in Change: U.N.
