Aligning ourselves with positive global change
The United Nations adopted its 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in 2015, addressing some of the world’s most significant economic, social and environmental challenges. Underpinning these goals are 169 associated indicators designed to support their implementation and monitor progress. We recognize that the private sector plays a critical role in achieving these goals and support their implementation as a framework for sustainable business practices.
Our assessment shows that we directly contribute to 13 SDGs. Of these we have identified five which are most closely aligned to our activities. These are
- SDG 8: Decent Work and Economic Growth
- SDG 12: Responsible Consumption and Production
- SDG 15: Life on Land
- SDG 6: Clean Water and Sanitation
- SDG 13: Climate Action – indicators 13.1 and 13.2
We review the SDGs each year to determine if we can increase our contribution to them.
The UN SDGs have been used to guide our materiality assessment and the evolution of our sustainability / ESG strategy. We continue to work towards maximizing our contribution to the UN SDGs.
