Nolato's sustainable development strategy
Nolato’s sustainable development strategy is an integral part of Nolato’s overarching strategy for profitable growth and is based on the Global Compact and the UN Sustainable Development Goals. It is focused on addressing challenges in the near future, while equipping ourselves to respond to future expectations and requirements.
UN Global Compact
In 2010, Nolato endorsed the UN initiative for responsible business conduct, the Global Compact. Through the Global Compact, Nolato endorses ten basic principles in the areas of human rights, labor, the environment and anti-corruption. In 2016, Nolato linked its Group targets to the UN Sustainable Development Goals.
About United Nations Global Compact
UN Global Compact is a call to companies everywhere to align their operations and strategies with ten universally accepted principles in the areas of human rights, labour, environment and anti-corruption, and to take action in support of UN goals.
The Sustainable Development Goals presented by the UN in 2015 are now also connected to the Global Compact.
Science Based Targets Initiative
In 2022, Nolato applied for membership of the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) and committed to the 1.5-degree target, pledging zero emissions by 2050. During 2023 Nolato developed science-based climate ambition targets and submitted these to SBTi for validation.
About the Science Based Targets initiative
The Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) is a partnership between CDP, the United Nations Global Compact, World Resources Institute (WRI) and the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF). The SBTi enables businesses to set ambitious emissions reductions targets in line with the latest climate science. It is focused on accelerating companies across the world to halve emissions before 2030 and achieve net-zero emissions before 2050.
