Our approach to responsible business is aligned to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).


We are signatories to the UN Global Compact and show our commitment to driving business awareness and action in support of the SDGs. These goals are a shared blueprint for peace and prosperity for people and planet, now and in the future. 

The SDGs provide a valuable framework as we work to achieve net zero by 2050. We remain committed to following the SDGs to guide our actions, and our Responsible Business Charter was developed in line with the Goals.  

While all 17 goals are important, there are four that are linked specifically to our RBC commitments. Through our activities and programs, we make a strong contribution toward these goals.
