On the occasion of the 5th anniversary of the approval of the 2030 Agenda with its 17 Sustainable Development Goals (ODS), the Integral Health Consortium joins the #apoyamoslosODS campaign to work on the dissemination of these United Nations goals, in collaboration with Red Española del Pacto Mundial, an initiative to which it belongs. The aim is to act, from their own commitment to the ODS, as a speaker and achieve a multiplier effect so that they know each other and work together.
En 2010, the Consorci Sanitari Integral joined the United Nations Global Compact, the global sustainability initiative. Since the approval of the 2030 Agenda to 2015, in addition to its commitment to promote the Ten Principles, it has worked in to line up its corporate management with the SDGs, where it finds new business opportunities, improves the relationship with its stakeholders and promotes innovation.
In this sense, the Integral Health Consortium has established a series of commitments and good practices aligned with their strategy. The Consortium participates in the group promoting social responsibility of the Consorci de Salut i Social de Catalunya, to which it is associated. This group also promotes the SDG Agenda 2030 objectives in the participating institutions.
With this type of action, the Red Española del Pacto Mundial and its member organizations seek contribute to the 2030 Agenda and its 17 Sustainable Development Goals, a task that, in these moments of crisis and uncertainty, is configured as the formula to create the sustainable future that the world needs.
It's been five years since the United Nations General Assembly approved the 2030 Agenda with its 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), by the unanimity of the 193 participating states, including Spain. "Leaving no one behind" is the axis of the agreement. The SDGs aim to end poverty and hunger, reduce inequalities and address pressing challenges such as climate change.
To achieve such an ambitious Agenda, the necessary was agreed upon everyone's participation: from governments, businesses, civil society and citizens around the world. Its strength comes from the universal character of the agreement and the ambition of its 169 goals. Achieving them requires an unprecedented effort from all sectors of society; and companies have a very important role to play in this purpose. Achieving the SDGs requires combining the drive of the public sector, businesses, investors and civil society.
Ten years after meeting the 2030 Agenda and its 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), the Secretary-General of the United Nations, Antonio Guterres, has called on all sectors of society to mobilize in this "Decade of action".
The "Decade of Action" requires accelerating the sustainable solutions addressed to the world's main challenges; from poverty and gender equality, to climate change, inequality and closing the financial gap. Companies have a very important role to play in this purpose.
