5.6 Contribution to Sustainable Development

GRI 102-12, 102-13

In 2017, with the signing of the United Nations Global Compact, we aligned our strategy with the United Nations 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, adopting the commitment to actively contribute to the Sustainable Development Goals and respect Human Rights. We absolutely believe that the SDGs should form the roadmap for all those involved in Sustainable Development, companies, governments, citizens, etc. We are aware that we must all contribute to Sustainable Development, and particularly the tourist industry. At Grupo Piñero, we believe that Responsible and Sustainable Tourism should be a global commitment.

Our strategy incorporates the 17 SDGs in the 2030 Agenda because we believe in achieving all of these goals, bringing an end to poverty, reducing inequality and fghting against climate change. These 17 SDGs are interlinked to address the three dimensions of Sustainable Development: economic growth, social inclusion and protection of the environment.

We have defned 8 of the 17 sustainable development goals as key goals based on our commitments and our prioritised action plan. However, although an action may be linked to one particular SDG, it may also contribute indirectly or additionally to another of the SDGs.

In the section, analysis of 2018 performance, we establish the main milestones reached in 2018 and our contribution to the SDGs, and these are explained in more detail in the section Our Priority Commitments.
