Contribution to Sustainable Development Goals

Sustainable Development Goals represent a universal action plan containing a set of goals that are intended to be achieved by the end of 2030 by the United Nations member countries. Sustainable Development Goals primarily consist of “The 17 Goals” in various areas affecting people around the world from efforts made against poverty and hunger, access to quality education and health services to establishing gender equality, peace and justice as well as taking climate action, transition to circular economy, clean products, biodiversity, R&D and innovation to sustainable growth.
