So that public and private actors can provide tangible solutions to the main human and environmental challenges, in 2015 the 193 Member States of the United Nations adopted a sustainable development programme entitled “Transforming our world: the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development”. This comprises 17 SDGs, which in turn consist of 169 targets.
Covivio's contribution to the UN sustainable development goals
A signatory to the Global Compact since 2011 and achieving GC Advanced level in 2018, Covivio has applied the 17 United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) since 2016. Covivio’s long-term CSR goals are consistent with the UN 2030 goals they contribute to, the 10 principles of the Global Compact, and the 2°C trajectory of the December 2015 Paris Agreement.
