SUSTAINABILITY STATEMENT OUR UNSDG ALIGNMENT The 17 UNSDGs are at the core of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. The goals intend to end poverty, protect the planet and ensure prosperity for all. WSC is aligned with the UNSDGs and committed to contributing to their framework to enhance sustainable initiatives.
