Our measurement of success
The United Nations has set 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) which articulate the key challenges facing the globe. We have worked to align our key priorities with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UN SDGs) where relevant to our business and our industry. We have mapped our key priorities and related objectives against the United Nations SDGs to establish the seven principal goals which offer the greatest opportunity and/or risk to our business.
