The Sustainable Development Goals are a universal call to action to end poverty, protect the planet and improve the lives and prospects of everyone, everywhere. The 17 Goals were adopted by all UN Member States in 2015, as part of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development which sets out a 15-year plan to achieve the Goals.
In order to have a positive impact and help protect our planet, we have set clear and measurable goals using 5 specific SDGs as our compass. These SDGs are where we can make a real difference with our own business while at the same time contributing to our customers’ sustainability ambitions.
Our goal is to excel in everything we do.
