The Agenda has 17 sustainable development goals (SDGs) and 169 targets that range from the elimination of poverty to combating climate change, education, women\u2019s equality, environmental protection and the design of cities. Each goal has specific targets that have to be achieved in the coming years and, to do so, all of the agents \u2013governments, the private sector, civil society and citizens\u2013 have to play their part.<\/p>\n

These goals are unique in that they urge all countries, whether rich, poor or middle-income, to adopt measures to promote prosperity while protecting the planet. They recognise that initiatives to end poverty must go hand in hand with strategies that promote economic growth and address a range of social needs, including education, health, social protection and employment opportunities, while combating climate change and promoting environmental protection.<\/p>\n

Although the SDGs are not legally binding, many governments have adopted them as their own and established national frameworks to achieve them.<\/p>\n

On 18 June 2018, the Spanish Government created the post of high commissioner for the 2030 Agenda reporting directly to the prime minister and holding the rank of undersecretary, who will be responsible for coordinating initiatives to ensure fulfilment of the United Nations\u2019 2030 Agenda.<\/p>\n

Also in 2018, the Cabinet approved the 2030 Agenda Implementation Action Plan: Towards a Spanish Strategy for Sustainable Development,<\/i> which involved the participation of all ministries, regional governments, local bodies and civil society organisations.<\/p>\n

Ineco, as part of its corporate social responsibility activities, has joined this initiative, reinforcing its commitment to the SDGs and the 2030 Agenda by incorporating them into the company\u2019s general strategy. The company has also undertaken to spread awareness of the Agenda through external and internal campaigns to ensure that its more than 3,000 employees and stakeholders are aware of it and can work towards fulfilling these goals.<\/p>\n
