Aligned with the SDGs

The United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) are a set of challenges designed to end poverty, protect the planet, and guarantee peace and prosperity for all nations by 2030. The 17 SDGs and their 169 targets encourage cooperation between people, governments, and companies. We have incorporated the SDGs in the new Sustainability Policy Framework and we aim to abide by them in all company activities.
