The special feature of our portfolio is that it contributes to all 17 United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The UN sustainability goals are characterised by the fact that global problems are viewed holistically and ecological, social and economic improvement of the global situation is the aim.
Under the central motto “leave no one behind”, the SDGs call on us to reach each and every person and direct special attention to the disadvantaged. As a global plan, the 17 Sustainable Development Goals want to guarantee peace and prosperity for all people and at the same time protect the planet as the basis of life for all people.
To make sure we can guarantee the high quality of the portfolio, each of the 18 projects must meet strict quality criteria. The projects in our portfolio are spread across the world on four continents.
