SDGs as a Guideline
The VCDO program is based on the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of the United Nations. The SDGs serve as a guideline for companies striving for sustainability in the broadest sense. Through coaching, experience exchanges, and external evaluations, companies are encouraged to enhance their sustainability efforts and create a positive impact on society and the environment.
