UN SDG goals
Our contribution to the Sustainable Development Goals The United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) were agreed by 193 UN member states in 2015, including by the three Nordic countries NRC Group operates in – Finland, Norway and Sweden. Each SDG includes measurable targets and indicators, with Governments of member states reporting on these to the UN. A key component of the SDGs is the principle of collaboration for their achievement, including between Government, Civil Society and Business. NRC Group is focused on collaboration and contribution towards an initial core set of SDGs, while supporting the achievement of all SDGs. In 2021, NRC Group signed up to the UN Global Compact (UNGC) which sets out ten internationally- recognised principles for responsible business conduct. The company is participating in the UN Global Compact SDG Ambition Accelerator-programme which challenge us to set ambitious corporate targets and accelerates integration of the 17 SDGs into core business management. We believe that it is important to identify where we contribute and to what extent we deliver on relevant and specific SDG targets and indicators. The following table sets out our view on the core set of SDGs relevant to NRC Group, our contribution to their achievement and our performance in relation to their specific targets and indicators.
