LNC's Approach to UN Sustainable Development Goals
2020 is the first time we have set specific sustainability objectives for our business. We have outlined our objectives for working in collaboration with other partners to deliver global efforts to address some of the world’s biggest challenges including:
-
Lack of access to education
-
High youth unemployment
-
High inequality for women in society
-
Extraordinary migration and conflict
-
Impact of globalisation
-
Market disruption caused by technology and artificial intelligence
-
Market disruption caused by disease
The UN Member States have agreed on a plan to put the world on a more sustainable path and ensure that no one is left behind by adopting the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, including its 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the Paris Agreement to tackle climate change.
Businesses of all sizes have a responsibility and opportunity to contribute to solving this global problem by supporting the SDGs. At LNC, we believe we can achieve this by collaborating with and supporting international partners, governments and NGOs. We will help create a better world in which our businesses can grow and we can jointly achieve our mission to help people improve their lives through learning.
LNC has identified three SDGs where we believe we have the opportunity to make a difference in conjunction with our partners. For programmes that fall under our Sustainability Initiatives, we demonstrate support through our tailored business practices, products and services, programs, and partnerships agreements. This also includes customising existing learning initiatives, products and service infrastructure to support partners.
The SDGs we focus on are closely aligned with our business and company ethos for impactful outcomes achieved through learning. We would like to esplore:
