The United Nation’s 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) is a universal call for action by all countries to protect the planet and build a more sustainable and inclusive world by 2030. At KBL, we have identified the SDGs where we can have the greatest impact and co-related these with our purpose to see where our contributions can add real value and support our own commitments. We monitor and transparently report on our progress on each of these goals.
