Supporting the UN Sustainable Development Goals

In 2015, the United Nations defined 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) that provide a blueprint for governments, NGOs, companies and citizens.

They address the global challenges we face, including those related to poverty, inequality, climate change, environmental degradation, peace and justice.

As a player in the distribution of products and solutions for the working environment, we commit to the Global Compact principles.
