Goals
Commitments to sustainable development
Entering into shared commitments – like the sustainable development goals contained in the United Nations Agenda 2030 – is companies’ duty as citizens. It makes us feel part of something bigger than ourselves, where something can still be done to correct the course of events. Starting from small, everyday actions.
Camst’s strategic plan for 2021-2025 incorporates sustainability, and thus also the Group’s commitment with regard to the United Nations Agenda 2030 and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) which are an integral part of it.
Of the 17 SDGs, we have identified some, consistent with our business model and objectives, as our main priorities. They are: SDG2 (Food security, nutrition, sustainable agriculture), SDG3 (Good health and well-being), SDG6 (Sustainable management of water), SDG7 (Energy systems), SDG9 (Resilient infrastructure, innovation), SDG12 (Sustainable production and consumption patterns), SDG13 (Climate action) and SDG17 (Partnership).
The Camst Group’s commitment to the Agenda 2030 also embraces other SDGs that embrace organisational issues and factors, as essential pre-conditions for the achievement of the objectives of the strategic plan: SDG4 (Education al learning opportunities), SDG5 (Gender equality), SDG8 (Economic growth, employment) and SDG10 (Reduced inequalities).
In line with the strategies of the European Union and the policies adopted by the Green Deal, Camst has started to think carefully about the complex issues linked to food and the role of biodiversity. SDG14 and SDG15, which tackle these issues, set commitments and define impacts which affect the entire business model, and Camst is getting to grips with them to decide actions that work towards the commitments required.
Camst’s specific undertakings in relation to the various SDGs are set out in the chart below.
