Qalaa Holdings focuses on six Sustainable Development Goals
Ghada Hamouds, Head of sustainability and marketing department of Qalaa Holdings, said the company focuses on achieving six of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) 2030.
She said the company seeks to have a tangible effect in the communities it is operating, particularly through generating jobs, developing the infrastructure in Egypt and Africa and securing equal educational opportunities for all social strata.
She made the remarks during a session held under the theme of one goal and one world “Sustainable Development Goals from adoption to application”. The session – moderated by Founder and CEO of CSR Arabia Hassan Moustafa – was held within the framework of the Arab Sustainable Development Week which was organized by the Arab League, the Ministry of Planning, Monitoring and Administrative Reform and the United Nations Development Program.
She said the company played a pioneering role in getting sustainability to be part of all its work and activities. This has led to the company’s joining of the United Nations Global Compact (UNGC).
The United Nations Global Compact (UNGC) is a strategic policy initiative for businesses committed to aligning their operations and strategies with 10 universally accepted principles in the areas of human rights, labor, environment and anti-corruption.
The company has upgraded its sustainability practices to accelerate the implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals.
