Sustainability

How we work with The 17 Sustainable Development Goals.

Our company is deeply committed to the UN’s 17 Sustainable Development Goals, and a dedicated employee serves as our internal “Sustainability Ambassador.”

We conduct monthly progress reviews, making any necessary adjustments to ensure we stay on track. Our focus is on tangible, practical efforts rather than mere rhetoric.

Here are some examples of the initiatives we’re currently working on.

About The Global Goals

The UN’s Global Goals are a set of 17 goals and 169 sub-goals, representing the most ambitious global development agenda to date. These Sustainable Development Goals were adopted by heads of state and government at the UN summit in New York on 25 September 2015, and mark an unprecedentedly ambitious and transformative development agenda.

These goals aim to set us on a course towards more sustainable development for both people and the planet we live on, and have been in force since 1 January 2016, with a deadline of 2030. The global goals comprise 17 specific goals and 169 sub-goals, which require all 193 member states of the UN to work towards abolishing poverty and hunger in the world, reducing inequalities, ensuring good education and better health for all, creating decent jobs, and promoting more sustainable economic growth. Additionally, they focus on promoting peace, security, and strong institutions, and on strengthening international partnerships. The agenda recognizes that social, economic, and environmental development, peace, security, and international cooperation are closely linked, and that it requires an integrated effort to achieve sustainable development results.
