ESG AT THE CENTRE OF GOVERNANCE

STRATEGY TO GENERATE POSITIVE IMPACT

The 2030 Sustainability Strategy: Impact+ is now available, reinforcing our commitment to the UN’s 2030 Agenda and the SDGs. The document materialises the purpose of contributing with a positive impact to a fairer and more sustainable economy, respecting the Environment and Biodiversity, developing People and Communities and integrating ESG into Strategy and Daily Action.

 

The Strategy was developed around three main axes: Environmental, Social and Governance. For Raquel Santos, BEL Group’s Sustainability Director, ‘we have designed the roadmap for an ambitious path, with clear and transparent objectives, which we want to take together with our people and our partners. It’s the right direction for understanding and transforming our value creation into positive impact.’

 

Strategy 2030 defines concrete ambitions, associating a specific KPI and a deadline for achieving each goal, as well as regularly reporting progress on each commitment on a microsite developed specifically to publicise this document and the evolution of its performance. BEL Group is also committed to continuous improvement in communication and design in the field of sustainability. Find out more at: https://impactomais.grupobel.pt/
