Agenda 2030, its objectives and the sustainable development councils

A global vision for the future

In September 2015, the United Nations General Assembly adopted the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), in a universal, ambitious program, Agenda 2030. This global framework aims to eradicate poverty, protect the planet and ensure prosperity for all, based on an integrated approach to sustainable development.

The Agenda 2030 offers a shared vision on a global scale, while at the same time promoting local actions. It embodies the well-known principle: «think global, act local». In a world often faced with crises and uncertainties, this roadmap, shared by almost all the world's nations, gives meaning to small individual gestures and collective projects.

Sustainable development concerns all the players in the company These include citizens, NGOs, public institutions, ministries, local authorities, businesses, researchers and academic establishments. Everyone can contribute to this transition towards a fairer, greener and more united future.
