ALL ELECTRIC SOCIETY
What is behind the abbreviation SDG ? “ Solutions for the global challenges of the future ”
By 2030 , the world ’ s population will have grown to 8.5 billion people . With this in mind , the 193 member states of the United Nations jointly formulated important sustainability goals five years ago . These “ Sustainable Development Goals ” ( SDGs ) are to be achieved in order to enable a life of dignity and one that conserves resources and protects the planet and the climate .
The path to global sustainability is not just a task for politicians , but also for society , science , and industry . The harmony of economy , ecology , and social issues forms the framework for sustainable management and corporate responsibility . At Phoenix Contact , we have always lived and breathed sustainability . In family businesses , sustainable management plays a major role .
With the topics of electrification , networking , and automation , Phoenix Contact is focusing even more intensely on sustainable development . The vision of the “ All Electric Society ” is reflected in all facets of the portfolio of products , technologies , and solutions . This is empowering our customers and making them better able to boldly embrace the digitalized and electrified future .
Five of the 17 SDGs are supported directly by the Phoenix Contact product and innovation portfolio :
1 . Affordable and clean energy ( Goal 7 ) 2 . Decent work and economic growth ( Goal 8 ) 3 . Industry , innovation , and infrastructure ( Goal 9 ) 4 . Sustainable cities and communities ( Goal 11 ) 5 . Responsible consumption and production ( Goal 12 )
Responsible business dealings and economic success are not contradictory . Neither is enthusiasm for technology and sustainability . We should all help to actively shape a future worth living .
