We want to grow for the benefit of our shareholders and our employees as well as for the well-being of society and the environment in which we live and work. In this rapidly changing world, sustainability has to be integrated into the way we do business, targeting those areas where we can have the most impact. In doing this, we align with the most widely used definition of sustainability that was introduced by the United Nations (UN) in 1987: meeting the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. Sustainable Development Goals In 2015, 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) were adopted by all 193 UN Member States. These define global sustainable development priorities and aspirations for 2030 and seek to mobilise global efforts around a common set of goals and targets. The SDGs call for worldwide action among governments, businesses and civil society to end poverty and create a life of dignity and opportunity for all, within the available resources of the planet. At SHV, we believe the SDGs provide a new lens through which to translate the world’s needs and ambitions into business opportunities. These are opportunities to rethink business models, anticipate consumer demand and build positions in growth markets, while ensuring we can leave a sustainable family of companies to the next generation. Three focus areas Transitioning towards a more sustainable and resilient SHV family of companies, requires taking an integrated approach that recognises that these challenges - and their solutions - are interrelated. Our Groups work on multiple topics, some of them specific to their industry or geography. However, we can have more impact on some topics when we approach them together. As such we have defined three focus areas that contribute to SDG 8, 13 and 17. These topics were carefully selected after conducting a materiality assessment with more than 5,000 stakeholders and with backing from all SHV Groups.
