The SDGs and UN Global Compact

 

Launched in 2015, the 17 SDGs form a shared global agenda for environmental improvement, social empowerment and greater equality.

 

In the table on the homepage, we have illustrated how our sustainability programme aligns with these goals. Our commitment to sustainability is emphasized by our alignment with the United Nations’ 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and the 10 guiding principles on Human Rights, Labour, Environment and Anti-Corruption in the United Nations Global Compact.

 

In 2021, Portwest signed up to the UN Global Compact, committing to reporting our progress towards the goals year on year. We published our first Communication on Progress in 2022.
