Six Ambitions Based on the UN’s SDGs and Included in our Strategic Program

EDF Group

In 2016, we decided on six corporate responsibility goals. They mark out the path we have set for ourselves to achieve our CAP 2030 strategy and take into account the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) laid down by the United Nations.

Ursprünglich geprägt wurde diese Form des Managements im angelsächsischen Raum als Teil einer Public-Affairs-Strategie. more[...]

Deutsche Post DHL

We are living in an era that has seen the key factors for corporate success change markedly in the span of just a few years. The boundary between business and society is fading, and the consequences are penetrating into the very core of corporate decision-making. A shift in attitude can already be observed in the higher echelons of many companies.
