Prioritization of SDGs and Selection of Indicators
For the purposes of prioritization, various factors were taken into account, such as the magnitude, severity, and likelihood of current and potential negative impacts, the importance of these types of impacts for key stakeholders, and the opportunity to strengthen competitiveness.
According to the possibilities within the reach of Owl-Track and the company’s objectives, the following SDGs are selected as priorities for this first stage on the path to sustainability. Indicators will be established that most appropriately express the relationship between the company’s activities and their impact, so that performance can be monitored over time.
The Sustainable Development Goals are the master plan to achieve a sustainable future for all. They are interconnected and incorporate the global challenges we face daily, such as poverty, inequality, climate change, environmental degradation, prosperity, peace, and justice.
