Sustainability

The UN’s Sustainable Development Goals are the blueprint to create sustainable development worldwide. The UN encourages businesses to use creativity and innovation in order to find good solutions, and asks the authorities to encourage reporting on the work being done to achieve these goals.

HMR has an impact on many development goals, but on some of them more than others. HMR has selected three goals that are the most important to us.
