Fazer's prioritised sustainable development goals
The United Nations’ 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) intend to secure a sustainable future, eliminate poverty and hunger, promote peaceful and inclusive societies for everyone.
With their economic power, businesses can make a real difference in how people and planet are treated, and wealth distributed. So, businesses play an important role to reach the goals.
In 2021, we took a deeper look at the goals to identify those SDGs that stand out as most relevant for our work; namely:
- SDG 2 End hunger, achieve food security and improved nutrition and promote sustainable agriculture
- SDG 3 Ensure healthy lives and promote well-being for all at all ages
- SDG 5 Achieve gender equality and empower all women and girls
- SDG 8 Promote sustained, inclusive, and sustainable economic growth, full and productive employment, and decent work for all
- SDG 12 Ensure sustainable consumption and production patterns
- SDG 13 Take urgent action to combat climate change and its impacts
- SDG 14 Conserve and sustainably use the oceans, seas, and marine resources and
- SDG 15 Protect, restore, and promote sustainable use of terrestrial ecosystems, sustainably manage forests, combat desertification, and halt and reverse land degradation and halt biodiversity loss
