Aligning with the UN Sustainable Development Goals sustainability_stragegy

The 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) were agreed in September 2015 by 193 UN member states. They provide an opportunity for businesses to create value, not only for the business itself, but also for society. Addressing all nations and peoples, the goals have established a common set of wide-ranging issues to help all sectors and organizations work together.

ERIKS linked its strategy and targets with the global goals for the first time in 2016. As we evolve and mature our approach, we are looking to increase our impact by being more focused in the areas we target. As we work towards our 2030 goals, we will contribute to the following SDG targets:

SDG 8
Promote sustained, inclusive and sustainable economic growth, full and productive employment, and decent work for all 
Target 8.5
By 2030, achieve full and productive employment and decent work for all women and men, including for young people and persons with disabilities, and equal pay for work of equal value
Target 8.8
Protect labor rights and promote safe and secure working environments for all workers, including migrant workers, in particular women migrants, and those in precarious employment
SDG 13
Take urgent action to combat climate change and its impacts
Target 13.2
Integrate climate change measures into national policies, strategies, and planning
SDG 17
Partnership for the Goals
