Goal 9: Industry, innovation and infrastructure
SDG 9.4 aims to make industries and infrastructure more sustainable and reduce their negative environmental impacts by 2030. This will be achieved by promoting greater resource efficiency and increased use of clean and environmentally friendly technologies and processes. It is important that all countries contribute to this goal according to their respective capacities.
To contribute to the achievement of SDG 9.4, we are working in several areas. For example, we are investing in research and development of new technologies and processes that can make industries more sustainable and reduce their environmental impact. In addition, we work with our customers and suppliers to find more sustainable and environmentally friendly solutions.
We also work to increase our own sustainability by reducing our own resource consumption and environmental impact. We find these improvements inoptimising our production processes. We reduce waste, reuse and recycle materials and reduce energy consumption in our facilities. We are exploring more environmentally friendly transport methods and reducing our carbon emissions.
We also work with local and national authorities to ensure that our industries and infrastructure comply with environmental regulations and standards. This can ensure a more consistent and sustainable approach across countries and industries.
In short, we can contribute to SDG 9.4 by investing in research and development, working with our customers and suppliers, optimising our own sustainability and working with authorities to ensure compliance with environmental regulations and standards.
