Commitments and certificates

United Nations Sustainable Development Goals

We are committed in our operations to promoting the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals. The goals are also known as the 2030 Agenda and Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). They aim at eliminating poverty and achieving sustainable development, where the environment, economy and people are taken into account equally.
 
Among the SDGs, goals 8, 12 and 13 are particularly relevant to Airam’s activities.

UN Global Compact

Airam joined the Global Compact initiative in December 2020. By signing the compact, we committed to implementing its ten principles in our operations and to communicating annually about our sustainability-related work through the Global Compact’s Communication on Progress (CoP) report. 

The Global Compact is a corporate responsibility initiative under the UN whose aim is to promote the ecological, social and financial responsibility of companies and communities. The initiative is based on the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals and the ten principles of the Global Compact on human rights, labour, the environment and anti-corruption.
