Vision
EF Group has made the decision to contribute even more than in the past to the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals, aligning its business model even more closely with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), defined by the policy document developed by the September 2015 Sustainable Development Summit involving the 193 member countries of the United Nations.
We are a solid and strategic partner. We develop innovative solutions based on a strategic vision of sustainability, research and continuous evolution
Call to action
The 17 goals, articulated in more than 160 specific targets to be achieved by 2030, involve not only institutions but a variety of actors, including businesses. For all of them, they represent a real call to action in crucial areas such as combating hunger and poverty, producing clean energy, protecting and conserving water resources, raising awareness toward responsible and conscious consumption, and promoting access to health and education.
Specific Goals
As far as our sector is concerned, the specific objectives are, among others, occupational safety and worker welfare, adoption of sustainable production models and mitigation of environmental impacts. These are key commitments for companies in the sector.
7 Target
An in-depth analysis of the 169 reference targets for the material issues identified as priorities for the company was carried out, so as to select Goals and targets applicable to its business model: thus, 7 targets were identified, which can be pursued in integration with the business and are applicable to all links in the company’s value chain.
