How New Wave Group works with sustainability and what areas we focus on are interrelated with our business context and the questions that are highly valued by our stakeholders . Below , we address areas that characterize our work , all directly or indirectly linked to the global goals for sustainable development .
Business context
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 . With its 17 goals and 169 targets , this is the most ambitious agreement for sustainable development the world leaders have ever adopted . The Global Goals unite the countries in the world through a universal agenda and demand that all countries – rich and poor – act both nationally and globally to achieve the goals by 2030 . Guided by the goals , it is now up to all of us , governments , businesses , civil society and the general public to work together to build a better future for everyone . In Sweden , the government ’ s ambition is to become world-leading in sustainable fashion production and consumption .
For New Wave Group , all 17 sustainability goals are important and we try to influence them in a positive direction , either directly or indirectly .
In Sweden , the government ’ s ambition is to become world-leading in sustainable fashion production and consumption , which requires commitment from business , civil society and the general public .
