We aspire to contribute to a society that is healthy, educated and productive, where none of our customers live in poverty and the environment poses no threat to future generations. The United Nations Sustainable Development Goals are the blueprint to achieving a better and more sustainable future for all. We embrace these global goals and have identified eight primary impact areas that align most closely with our corporate social responsibility strategy and supports our overall business objectives.
