Sustainable Development Goals
Staying connected in a sustainable world
In 2015 the United Nations introduced 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). These goals form a global compass and call to action to end poverty and hunger, promoting healthy living and well-being. Based on our strategy, value creation model and current initiatives we have identified how ICT can contribute to the realisation of the SDGs. ICT
endorses all the SDGs and contributes directly to numbers 3, 8, 9, 11 and 12.
