Increased focus on sustainable energy for all

The United Nations Sustainable Development Goal seven is about ensuring universal access to affordable, reliable, sustainable and modern energy. It is also about substantially increasing the share of renewable energy in the global energy mix, doubling the global rate of improvement in energy efficiency and enhancing international cooperation to facilitate access to clean energy research and technology. With energy supply becoming an increasingly important issue, Coor has built up a growing service portfolio of smart energy solutions that enables us to make a more active contribution in this area. 

Coor will continuously work with the goals that we have focused on in recent years as eight now becomes nine, since these are the goals where our resource use is greatest and where we thus have the greatest ability to make a difference – in our own operations as well as in our service offering. 
- The goals are part of an integrated and indivisible whole, where all goals affect each other, positively and negatively. Therefore, we need to have a constant awareness of how our efforts may affect other areas, and address all aspects of Agenda 2030, Maria Ekman, Head of Group Sustainability at Coor, explains.


To clarify which goals are appropriate for Coor's own business and which are primarily related to our customer offerings, we have chosen to divide the goals into two groups. The breakdown is aimed partly at creating a greater awareness in our own organisation, and partly at showing our contribution and what we can offer our customers. We have also illustrated how the SDGs are related to our triple bottom line.
