UNITED NATIONS SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT GOALS (UN SDGs)

In September 2015, the UN member states agreed on a set of 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), to end poverty, fight inequality and injustice, and tackle climate change by 2030. We believe natural resources companies like us have the potential to become leading partners in achieving the SDGs. This year, we have prioritised the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) based on materiality issues and operational competency. We are now in the process of chalking out targets and action plans to address the relevant Goals. The below table states our endeavours which naturally align with the said goals.
