EHL and Sustainability
22
On 25 September 2015, the 193 mem- ber states of the United Nations adopt- ed the Agenda 2030 for sustainable development as a shared plan to “trans- form our world“. It defines 17 goals for sustainable development and an action plan for greater well-being and peace for all people and our planet. Lofty goals, strong incentive, full commitment
Good health and well-being SDG 3 is focused on improving the health and well-being of all people in all age groups.
The 17 goals are subdivided into 169 targets and cover a new, networked un- derstanding of poverty, the destruction of the environment, inequality, methods of production and consumer behaviour, corruption and many other issues. A global mindset and actions are essential to master these challenges. The Agenda 2030 applies universally to all countries, whereby the responsibility for realising its goals lies at both the national and international level.
Important steps to meet these goals in- clude cooperation between all countries and the implementation of common strategies. EHL extensively analysed the United Nation‘s 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) to support its positive contribution to sustainable develop- ment. After internal discussion, we identified the following 10 of these sustainability goals as decisive for our responsible actions:
Our offering also covers preventive screen- ings, for example to control skin pigmen- tation, as well as vaccinations, ergonomic advising and eye tests. Group yoga sessions strengthen body consciousness and are a healthy change of pace from the daily work routine. Organic fruit, mineral water and or- ganic juices promote balanced nutrition and increase our employees’ energy level.
It ranges from combating illnesses and better care and treatment for physical and mental health to the reduction of environ- mental and occupational risks. At EHL, we have established a solid frame- work to meet this goal. We regularly invite doctors and health experts for consultations.
