ALMA MEDIA CORPORATION JOINS THE UN'S GLOBAL COMPACT INITIATIVE

sustainable business practices and transparency in its operations.
"We are committed to following the principles of the Global Compact initiative
in our everyday operations. The ten principles of the initiative are fully in

media, and it is precisely this value that the Global Compact initiative strives
to accomplish," says Kai Telanne, President and CEO of Alma Media.
The UN Global Compact is a worldwide initiative whose signatories are committed
