Our dedication to sustainability aligns with our core purpose. We believe that social advancement, environmental balance, and economic growth must coexist harmoniously. For this reason, we actively contribute to the achievement of the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

The 17 global goals outlined by the United Nations address humanity’s most pressing challenges through a comprehensive and multidisciplinary approach. Only through the collective efforts of governments, businesses, and individuals can we tackle these critical issues.

Key challenges include addressing water and sanitation scarcity, decarbonising the energy sector, developing resilient infrastructure, and fostering sustainable urban growth. Overarching all of these is the urgent fight against climate change.

More than 844 million people lack access to basic drinking water, and approximately three times as many lack adequate sanitation. These deficiencies exacerbate poverty, trigger migration, increase chronic diseases, and reduce educational opportunities.

Water

One in eight people globally still lack access to electricity. To ensure energy that is affordable, reliable, sustainable, and modern for all, renewable energy usage must rise from 25% to 38% by 2025.

Energy

Economic development, societal progress, and climate action heavily depend on investments in infrastructure, sustainable industrialisation, and technological innovation. Currently, one billion people live over two kilometres from an all-weather road, 940 million lack access to electricity, and 663 million rely on unimproved drinking water sources.

Cities cover just 3% of the Earth’s surface yet host more than half the global population—a figure projected to rise to 70% by 2050. Urban areas currently generate over 80% of global GDP but also face significant sustainability challenges.

Energy generation and consumption account for 74% of global greenhouse gas emissions, making it the largest driver of climate change. Investments in renewable energy, energy efficiency, and low-carbon technologies are essential to meet growing demands while minimising environmental harm.

We support the achievement of the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals, which address the greatest challenges facing humanity.

Sustainable development is about meeting present needs without compromising the ability of future generations to meet theirs. This involves balancing economic growth, environmental stewardship, and social welfare.
