#COMPANIES4SDGs is a global campaign which seeks to promote the achievement of the UN SDG through corporate volunteering, to create and help transversal intersection among industries and companies and their stakeholders, to develop methodologies to assess the impact of the volunteers, and to keep a global representation.
The 17 SDG focus on the most important issues affecting the world, including poverty, inequality and climate change. The initiative is supported by IMPACT 2030, a private companies group which articulates corporate volunteering for the achievement of SDG, in collaboration with the UN.
Abertis joins the campaign with the aim of promoting volunteering and sustainable behaviors among its employees, through its ALTRUIS program.
