SDGs
In 2015, the United Nations introduced the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) as a global call to eradicate poverty, safeguard the environment, and foster sustainable development by 2030.
These goals serve as a comprehensive framework that businesses can embrace to enhance their sustainable practices and contribute to the collective effort of achieving a more equitable and sustainable world, leaving no one behind.
