There are many points that we at Cor de Carxofa carry out in our daily lives to make the world a better and more sustainable place.
At ICTE we were asked to focus on 4 SDGs for writing our sustainability report; In this case we have worked in depth on the SDGs of Health and well-being (3), Quality education (4), Decent work and economic growth (8) and Responsible production and consumption (12), but at Cor de Carxofa we work on many more SDGs in our daily lives; Sustainability is part of our DNA.
