GLOBAL GOALS FOR SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT In 2015 , world leaders agreed to 17 goals for a better world by 2030 . These goals have the power to end poverty , fight inequality and stop climate change . For New Wave Group , all 17 sustainability goals are important and we try to influence them in a positive direction , directly or indirectly .
The world today is more interconnected than ever . Civil society alone cannot solve the challenges facing the world , neither can nations nor the business sector . Partnerships are thus a prerequisite , a tool for achieving the other 16 goals .
Therefore , New Wave Group is committed to several global partnerships on issues and challenges that require cooperation at a higher level than individual companies ( read more on page 30 ).

The Global Goals are strongly interconnected , but we consider our business can make more significant contributions to four of the goals :

08 -DECENT WORK AND ECONOMIC GROWTH Ensure good working conditions , both within the Group and in the global supply chain .
13 - CLIMATE ACTION Decrease indirect GHG emissions from production and choose transportation with eco-friendly fuels and improved vessels .
12 - RESPONSIBLE PRODUCTION AND CONSUMPTION Develop as sustainable products as possible and actively spread knowledge and information about sustainable consumption .
17 - PARTNERSHIPS FOR THE GOALS Partnerships such as amfori BSCI , FLA , International Accord for Health and Safety in the Garment and Textile Industry and Clean Shipping Index .
