STAMFORD, Conn., Sept. 6, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Rain Carbon Inc., a leading global producer of upcycled carbon-based products and advanced materials, announces today that it has joined the UN Global Compact, the world's largest corporate sustainability initiative.

"Our company supports the Ten Principles of the United Nations Global Compact on environment, human rights, labor and anti-corruption, and we are committed to incorporating these principles into our business strategy, culture and day-to-day operations," said Rain Carbon President Gerry Sweeney.

"With our ongoing focus on these SDGs and our commitment to the Ten Principles of the UN Global Compact, Rain Carbon is well positioned to make meaningful and sustainable contributions for our many stakeholders for years to come," Sweeney said.
