Sustainable Development Goals
The global Sustainable Development Goals – or SDGs – of the United Nations are centered around conducting business sustainably, using resources efficiently, and protecting the climate.
Using the sub-targets of the Sustainable Development Goals as our basis, we have identified six SDGs to which we at Medios make a clear positive contribution or where we can tangibly reduce our negative impact.
