As an investor, developer, manager and creator of services, Covivio expresses itself on a European scale and invents the city of tomorrow.
Covivio’s contribution to the UN sustainable development goals
A signatory to the Global Compact since 2011 and achieving GC Advanced level in 2018, Covivio has applied the 17 United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) since 2016. Covivio’s long-term CSR goals are consistent with the UN 2030 goals they contribute to, the 10 principles of the Global Compact, and the 2°C trajectory of the December 2015 Paris Agreement.
The 17 UN’s sustainable development goals
So that public and private actors can provide tangible solutions to the main human and environmental challenges, in 2015 the 193 Member States of the United Nations adopted a sustainable development programme entitled “Transforming our world: the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development”. This comprises 17 sustainable development goals, which in turn consist of 169 targets.
Covivio organizes its strategy around 9 of these objectives
Using several external studies carried out in 2017, which have been regularly updated, Covivio has identified nine key sustainable development goals for its business taking into account its targets. These are described below.
