Sustainable Development Goals

The Sustainable Development Goals are a call for action by all countries – poor, rich and middle-income – to promote prosperity while protecting the planet. They recognize that ending poverty must go hand-in-hand with strategies that build economic growth and address a range of social needs including education, health, social protection, and job opportunities, while tackling climate change and environmental protection. (17 Goals to Transform our World)
At Lantinga Vita, we believe that business can be a force for good. That means having an impact where it counts most. The UN Sustainable Development Goals provide a framework for evidence-based decision making. Measuring our impact and setting clear objectives is a first step in a long journey towards preserving our planet, while ensuring economic growth and prosperity for all. We are committed to joining forces with not only the best in the world, but the best for the world.

Our Commitment

By 2030, improve water quality by reducing pollution, eliminating dumping and minimizing release of hazardous chemicals and materials, halving the proportion of untreated wastewater and substantially increasing recycling and safe reuse globally. Substantially increase water-use efficiency across all sectors and ensure sustainable withdrawals and supply of freshwater to address water scarcity and substantially reduce the number of people suffering from water scarcity. (Target 6.3 and 6.4)

Promote development-oriented policies that support productive activities, decent job creation, entrepreneurship, creativity and innovation. Improve progressively, through 2030, global resource efficiency in consumption and production and endeavour to decouple economic growth from environmental degradation.

Protect labour rights and promote safe and secure working environments for all workers. (Target 8.3, 8.4. 8.5 and 8.8)
Promote inclusive and sustainable industrialization. By 2030, upgrade infrastructure and retrofit industries to make them sustainable, with increased resource-use efficiency and greater adoption of clean and environmentally sound technologies and industrial processes, with all countries taking action in accordance with their respective capabilities. (Target 9.2 and 9.4)
  
Substantially reduce waste generation through prevention, reduction, recycling and reuse. Encourage companies, especially large and transnational companies, to adopt sustainable practices and to integrate sustainability information into their reporting cycle. Promote public procurement practices that are sustainable, in accordance with national policies and priorities. Ensure that people everywhere have the relevant information and awareness for sustainable development and lifestyles in harmony with nature.

Improve education, awareness-raising and human and institutional capacity on climate change mitigation, adaptation, impact reduction and early warning. (Target 13.3) 

Prevent and significantly reduce marine pollution of all kinds, in particular from land-based activities, including marine debris and nutrient pollution. Protect marine and coastal ecosystems to avoid significant adverse impacts, including by strengthening their resilience, and take action for their restoration in order to achieve healthy and productive oceans. Minimize and address the impacts of ocean acidification, including through enhanced scientific cooperation at all levels. (Target 14.1, 14.2 and 14.3)
