Sustainable Development Goals (SDGS)
The UN Sustainable Development Goals are the centerpiece of the Agenda 2030 adopted by the United Nations in autumn 2015. They define the social, economic and environmental milestones that are to be jointly achieved on a worldwide basis by 2030. Companies can make a crucial contribution to the Agenda 2030. Bellevue takes its responsibilities seriously and its sustainability management and core business are aligned as closely as possible with the SDGs.
Four SDGs play a central role: quality education (4), gender equality (5), decent work and economic growth (8) and climate action (13). It is in these areas that Bellevue can have the greatest impact at company level.
