Taking into account the strategic guidelines of AfriCorp Petroleum Group, the Company’s experience in implementing environmental and industrial safety programs, social programs for employees of our entities and for the regions in which our enterprises operate, as well as the expectations of interested parties, we have identified 11 priority UN Sustainable Development Goals and 15 Targets.
These goals and targets are harmoniously combined with operational programs implemented by AfriCorp Petroleum Group entities and are part of corporate planning and budgeting. Therefore, we believe that their implementation, alongside other steps taken by the Company, largely determines the contribution AfriCorp Petroleum Group makes to achieve the UN global Sustainable Development Goals.
