Les objectifs de développement durable des Nations Unies (ODD) chez Reynaers Aluminium
En tant que membre du Reynaers Group, Reynaers Aluminium s'engage à limiter son empreinte carbone par le biais d'une stratégie environnementale à part entière. Nos principaux objectifs s'inspirent des objectifs de développement durable définis par les Nations Unies. Découvrez dans cet article ce que représente le modèle ODD et comment il nous aide à améliorer nos activités quotidiennes en matière de développement durable.
The United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UN SDGs) are a set of action points aimed at preserving our planet and improving the living conditions of all. Adopted by the UN in 2015, the model is primarily directed at governments and nations to help them determine effective sustainable commitments. Themes touched upon by the Development Goals include climate action, responsible water and energy usage, sustainable urbanisation, effective partnerships, and the key role of science and technology.
Sustainable goals to live by
Attaining these objectives heavily depends on the continuous efforts of innovative businesses across the world. That is why, at Reynaers Group, we have taken the SDG model into account while drafting our very first sustainability strategy, Reynaers Act.
For instance, to contribute to more sustainable cities and communities (SDG #11), we are constantly expanding our range of certified systems and components with Passive House, Minergie, and Cradle to Cradle Certified® solutions. Moreover, by choosing renewable materials and by partnering up with expert organisations in the field, we are able to limit our carbon emissions and reduce our operations’ ecological impact (SDG #13 & #17).
But why stop at the product level? Our direct and indirect communities are equally valuable! Visit one of Reynaers Group’s facilities and you will notice that safety is our number one priority. Strict safety regulations and training help us create a healthy and secure working environment for all (SDG #3 & #8). Outside our offices and warehouses, we realise a positive impact through various charity campaigns, such as Reynaers for Community (SDG #1). These initiatives help us give back to society in a meaningful and long-lasting way, as we strive for a better world together.
Reynaers Aluminium, as part of Reynaers Group, is currently well on its way to become a certified SDG Pioneer by the end of 2023. The "Pioneer" title indicates our company is actively helping advance the UN sustainable development goals worldwide, either by improving our own activities or by enabling other businesses. This is what it means to act Together for better.
