2030 Agenda
Our work and our commitment have a positive impact on the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) set out in the United Nations 2030 Agenda. With our activity we fulfil targets to achieve eight goals of the Agenda.
In 2015, the heads of State and Government of the member states of the United Nations signed the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. It is a joint commitment to resolve the socioeconomic and environmental challenges facing the planet and its inhabitants.
The 2030 Agenda focuses its efforts on 17 universal Sustainable Development Goals (SDG), through 169 specific targets. They are transformative and demanding goals that aim to achieve greater cohesion, social justice and sustainable growth within a period of 15 years, by 2030.
