A banner with the 17 SDGs is to be placed on the facade of the headquarters
25 September marks the eighth anniversary of the adoption of the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Grup Cooperatiu Fruits de Ponent is also celebrating this important milestone, together with the Red Española del Pacto Mundial (Spanish Network of the World Pact), which we are members of. And we’re doing so by placing a banner with the 17 SDGs on the facade of the headquarters.
In addition, we will also publish messages on social media to explain to supporters and other interest groups that we are at the equator of the implementation of the 2030 Agenda and, therefore, now more than ever we must take action to achieve these UN goals for a healthier, fairer and more sustainable world.
The SDGs, adopted by the United Nations General Assembly on 25 September 2015, represent a fundamental guide to transform our world. These goals focus on five crucial areas: people, planet, prosperity, peace and partnership. The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development calls for global action and urges governments and businesses to develop solutions for its implementation.
The 2030 Agenda includes 17 Sustainable Development Goals and 169 related milestones that must be achieved by 2030. These goals address a wide range of challenges, including reducing poverty, protecting the ecosystem and promoting gender equality.
The SDGs are a call to action, and at Fruits de Ponent we have been working for years towards contributing to achieving these goals. Through our sustainable business practices and our commitment to the community, we are determined to contribute to making the world a better place for everyone. Here is a list of just some of our contributions:
We worked on ODS 1, “No poverty”, and ODS 2, “Zero Hunger”, through food donation for the third sector and vulnerable groups.
We implemented actions for ODS 3, “Good Health and Well-Being” to educate on the importance of following a healthy diet and promoting the Mediterranean diet as a key factor in living a healthy lifestyle.
We are carrying out actions towards the achievement of ODS 5, “Gender Equality”, through our Equality Plan.
With regard to environmental actions, Grup Cooperatiu has worked on ODS 6, “Clean Water and Sanitation”, ODS 7, “Affordable and Clean Energy”, and ODS 13, “Climate Action”, for example, with the energy conversion towards a green energy or the reuse and non-waste of water.
We are also advocates for and practice ODS 17, “Partnerships for the Goals”, through cooperation with our partners.
