The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)
“Transforming our World: the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development” was adopted at the UN Sustainable Development Summit in September 2015. The SDGs are comprised of 17 goals and 169 targets that all United Nations member states will strive to achieve by 2030 for people, the earth and prosperity. In addition to conventional development goals, such as eradicating extreme poverty and hunger, the SDGs also cover challenges faced by developed countries, among them the promotion of gender equality, creation of a strong employment environment, reexamination of production and consumption, conservation of marine and forest resources, and development of safe communities. JSR Group will do its part to achieve the SDGs by creating value through its corporate activity.
