Good Health and Well-being
Good health is essential for personal development and societal progress. Consid targets key sub-SGDs, such as reducing non-communicable disease deaths and supporting vaccine accessibility. Internally, we prioritize employee well-being and have detection systems for drug abuse. Our partnership with War Child promotes mental health in conflict zones.
Quality Education
Education is a fundamental right, yet 774 million people worldwide, mostly women, lack literacy. Quality education is essential for prosperity and equality. Through our support for War Child, we work towards SDG 4 goals while addressing the IT competence crisis in Sweden and promoting interest in engineering among youth.
Gender Equality
Gender equality is vital for sustainable development, emphasizing fair power distribution and ending violence and discrimination against women and girls. Achieving parity benefits society in various dimensions. Our efforts align with SDG 5 goals, promoting equal opportunities and respect for diversity within our company and through initiatives like Q by Consid in the IT industry.
Decent Work and Economic Growth
Over half of the global workforce experiences insecure employment and limited access to education and social insurance. With a projected 800 million increase in the workforce over the next 20 years, creating sustainable jobs is crucial. Proper working conditions are essential for economic growth and societal well-being, necessitating the protection of workers' rights and promotion of innovation and entrepreneurship.
Industry, Innovation, and Infrastructure
A stable infrastructure is vital for a thriving society, requiring inclusivity and sustainability. Innovation and technology play a crucial role in addressing economic and environmental challenges, creating new markets and opportunities while promoting resource efficiency and equality. Investing in sustainable industries, research, eco-friendly technologies, and innovation is essential for achieving sustainable development.
Partnerships for the Goals
Global partnership and collaboration are crucial for achieving the SDGs. This requires solidarity, capacity building, and mobilization of resources to ensure inclusivity and progress for all. International investments, coordinated policies, and knowledge exchange, especially in developing countries, are essential for innovation, fair trade, and addressing humanitarian crises, making SDG 17 pivotal for success.
Climate Action
Climate change presents a serious threat to civilization, with rising emissions pushing global temperatures beyond two degrees and causing severe consequences for ecosystems and human well-being. Consid aims to reduce emissions by nearly 30% within five years, partnering with Bixia to support local renewable energy producers and provide renewable energy to customers in Sweden.
Responsible Consumption and Production
Human overconsumption demands a shift to sustainable practices in production and consumption for environmental, social, and economic benefits. Consid partners with Dustin for sustainable technology sourcing and collaborates with Inrego for equipment recycling while advocating for sustainability in public procurement.
Reduce Inequalities
Equality is crucial for sustainable development, ensuring fair distribution of resources and influence. The SDGs prioritize inclusivity through the "Leave No One Behind" principle.
