Sustainable development goals

As part of their 2030 Agenda for sustainable development, 193 U.N. countries around the world drafted and adopted 17 ambitious goals in 2015.

To be executed in just 15 years, the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDG’s) were created to address the biggest problems we face on this planet, from ending poverty to sustainable consumption patterns, social justice, access to healthcare, clean energy, clean air, clean water and more. Achieving these goals, or even coming close in such a short timescale, will require that all sectors of society—governments, businesses and the general public—work closely together. Success relies on organisations embedding them into all projects as well as into the organisation’s structure.

We have chosen to align with 7 of the goals, the ones that are most material to us: Goals 7, 9, 11, 12, 13, 15 and 17- each of our commitments enables us to work towards the achievement of these global goals.
