SEARCH EN Sustainability UN Sustainable Development Goals AGC Glass Europe contributing to the Sustainable Development Goals The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) were adopted at the United Nations Sustainable Development Summit in September 2015. They consist of 17 goals and 169 targets to be achieved through 2030. They are a call for action by all countries to promote prosperity while protecting the planet. They recognise that ending poverty must go hand-in-hand with strategies that build economic growth and address a range of social needs including education, health, social protection, and job opportunities, while tackling climate change and environmental protection.
