UN Sustainable Economic Development:
Achieving a Better Future for All
"Businesses that align with the UN SDGs are better positioned to thrive in the global economy, which is increasingly focused on sustainability."
Max Barrett, President
MaximillianGroup
At MaximillianGroup, we are committed to putting the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) first and building our business around them. We believe that businesses have a responsibility to contribute to the creation of a more sustainable and equitable world.
The United Nations Sustainable Economic Impact plan aims to promote sustainable development and economic growth around the world through a set of specific goals and targets. These goals include eliminating poverty, reducing inequality, and combating climate change, among others.
Our goal is to be a recognized leading company aligned with these goals and whose policies and practices reflect every intent they are to achieve. Additionally we seek to help our clients achieve a sustainable economic impact by developing a business model that takes into account these UN goals and targets. This includes ensuring that our clients' products are produced and distributed in a sustainable manner, and that their business practices are socially responsible and environmentally conscious.
We are particularly focused on the SDGs that are most relevant to our business operations, including:
SDG 4: Quality Education
SDG 5: Gender Equality
SDG 8: Decent Work and Economic Growth
SDG 9: Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure
SDG 10: Reduced Inequalities
SDG 12: Responsible Consumption and Production
SDG 13: Climate Action
SDG 16: Peace, Justice and Strong Institutions
We have specific and measurable goals for how we will impact each SDG, and we make decisions based on the impact they will have on the goals. We are also transparent about our progress and share our results with others.
Here are some specific examples of how we are putting the goals first:
Reducing our environmental impact by reducing our energy consumption, waste production, and greenhouse gas emissions.
Promoting diversity and inclusion in our workplace and in the communities where we operate.
Supporting our employees and their families by providing fair wages and benefits, and by creating a safe and healthy work environment.
Working with our suppliers to ensure that they are also committed to sustainability.
Developing and delivering products and services that help our customers to achieve their own sustainability goals.
We manage our business and our client projects to help them meet the United Nations Sustainability Goals.
