SDG
In September 2015, the United Nations (UN) General Assembly approved the Agenda 2030 for Sustainable Development with 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and more than 169 targets. In this new Agenda, the UN acknowledged the important, integral role played by the private sector in achieving sustainable development.
EBRO AND THE SDGs
Our contribution to the Agenda 2030
