The Sustainable Development Goals were defined by the United Nations in 2015. They constitute a shared agenda for sustainable global development in the years leading up to 2030. They provide a common language for SUEZ, its customers and other stakeholders; the Group uses them to analyse its risks and opportunities, inform its strategic choices and adapt its solutions to local priorities.
