SCG’s Commitment to Sustainable Development Goals

UN’s Sustainable Development Goals serve as a blueprint that all sectors must strive for in order to achieve peace and ensure the prosperity of humanity and the world, both at present and in the future.

SCG strives to generate economic growth alongside the conservation of natural resources and the environment as it believes that the business sector plays a critical role in driving society as a whole towards achieving the United Nation’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

To prioritize SDG, SCG analyzes its activities across the value chain, taking into consideration positive and negative impacts of its operations on people and the environment, as well as business drivers, materiality issues, and its business strategies. The SDGs are also assessed in relation to SCG’s operational targets and business capabilities so to accelerate the achievement of such goals and maximize positive economic, social, and environmental impact.
