The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are a set of 17 global goals that define the 2030 development agenda of the United Nations. They are a global call to action to end poverty, protect the planet, and ensure all people enjoy peace and prosperity. The SDGs challenge companies to align their goals with the international community, which holds enormous potential for positive change. How does Corbion contribute? In the Advance 2025 strategy, Corbion has chosen to focus on SDG 2 (Zero hunger), SDG 3 (Good health and well-being) and SDG 12 (Responsible consumption and production) as the goals on which it believes it can create the most significant positive impact, given its business activities. SDG2 - Zero hunger Preserving food safety, shelf life, texture and nutritional benefits with food solutions Preserving ecosystems by offering alternative aquaculture feed to prevent overfishing Preserving natural resources by partnering with our suppliers to promote sustainable agriculture SDG2 or Zero hunger is about the transition to a sustainable food system, able to feed a growing population within the planetary boundaries. Corbion's solutions for shelf life extension, food safety, animal health and aquaculture support this transition. We also collaborate with our suppliers of agriculture-derived raw materials to promote sustainable agriculture. SDG2 targets to which Corbion contributes: Target 2.1. By 2030, end hunger and ensure access by all people, in particular the poor and people in vulnerable situations, including infants, to safe, nutritious and sufficient food all year round Target 2.4. By 2030, ensure sustainable food production systems and implement resilient agricultural practices that increase productivity and production, that help maintain ecosystems, that strengthen capacity for adaptation to climate change, extreme weather, drought, flooding and other disasters and that progressively improve land and soil quality SDG3 - Good health and well-being Preserving the safety of our people Preserving nutritional value with sustainable food solutions Preserving heart health with algae solutions Preserving health and well being with biomedical solutions Preserving hygiene and health with biochemical solutions SDG3 or Good health and well-being is about ensuring healthy lives and promoting well-being at all ages. Corbion's solutions for health care, pharma, nutrition and hygiene contribute to various underlying targets set for SDG3. SDG3 targets to which Corbion contributes: Target 3.3.
