In addition, APU will endeavor to align with United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
“The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), also known as the Global Goals, were adopted by the United Nations in 2015 as a universal call to action to end poverty, protect the planet, and ensure that by 2030 all people enjoy peace and prosperity.
The 17 SDGs are integrated—they recognize that action in one area will affect outcomes in others, and that development must balance social, economic and environmental sustainability.”
See Sustainable Development Goals | United Nations Development Programme (undp.org) for more details.
