In a strategic step that reflects its unique vision of building communities based on principles of responsibility, One of One Developments announced its official membership in the United Nations Global Compact Network Egypt (UNGCNE). This partnership comes to strengthen the shared commitment to advancing sustainable business practices and integrating the Ten Principles of the UN Global Compact and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) into the core of Egypt’s real estate sector, Invest-Gate reports.

Partnership Framework and Cooperation

This partnership is based on an integrated working approach that allows One of One to work closely with the United Nations Global Compact Network Egypt across various events and strategic initiatives, in addition to exchanging expertise through advanced training programs and benefiting from knowledge resources, specialized libraries, and leading United Nations business acceleration programs. One of One chose this partnership due to the complete alignment between its values and corporate principles and the pillars of the Global Compact, especially in creating a fair work environment and developing a business culture based on transparency and environmental and social sustainability.

Women Empowerment and Leadership

As part of its strong commitment to supporting Sustainable Development Goal 5 and the Women’s Empowerment Principles, One of One stands out as a practical role model within Egypt’s private sector. Women hold more than 50% of leadership and senior management positions within the company, which aligns with the United Nations Global Compact Network Egypt’s efforts to close the gender leadership gap and build more inclusive, flexible, and internationally competitive workplaces.

Statement from One of One’s CEO

In this context, Mr. Mostafa Salah, CEO and Board Member of One of One, stated: “At One of One, our philosophy is built around three core pillars: (Person, Principle, Place), where we always place people at the center of strategic and development decisions. Our partnership today with the United Nations Global Compact as a member is not just a step toward institutional sustainability, but a true reflection of our commitment to creating a responsible business environment that inspires and endures over time.” He added: “We believe that the real growth of any real estate developer is measured by its contribution to the quality of life within its community and its ability to build a fair and sustainable work environment that supports equal opportunities and empowers female leaders, whose presence at the forefront of our organization proudly exceeds half of our leadership positions.”
