UN Sustainable Development Goals.

 

 

The relevant UN Goals for the Müller Group.

 

 

 

 

UN-Agenda 2030

In 2015, the United Nations launched the "Agenda 2030", an ecological and social reform program for sustainable development.

With its 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), the 2030 Agenda is a global plan to promote sustainable peace and prosperity and to protect our planet. Since 2016, all countries have been working to translate this shared vision for combating poverty and reducing inequalities into national development plans.

The United Nations assigns companies an important role in the implementation of the 2030 Agenda. Business and sustainability are not opposites, on the contrary. Sustainability is the basis of entrepreneurial activity, as this is the only way to guarantee long-term economic success. Development and progress offer new opportunities for people, the environment and companies. The 2030 Agenda is characterized by the conviction that a better world cannot be achieved without entrepreneurial solutions.

For the Müller Group, 11 of the 17 goals are relevant, as the following overview shows.

 

 











Health promotion
UN Goal 3
We count on healthy employees and enable a good balance between work, family, leisure and sport through flexible and modern working time models. Our employees' workplaces are ergonomic and work aids protect their health.

 

Production and occupational safety
UN goals 3 and 12
The health and well-being of our employees are essential to our success. With modern production facilities, safety precautions and regular training, we provide the conditions for a safe working environment.

 

Promotion of employees
UN Goal 4
Qualified personnel and prudent management ensure the success of the Müller companies. Targeted training and further education enable the professional and personal development of our employees.

 

Equal rights
UN Goals 5 and 10
In our daily actions and behavior, we attach great importance to ensuring that all employees are treated equally and have the same opportunities for further development. Equal pay is established at our company. We promote an inclusive culture and do not tolerate any form of discrimination.

 

Water protection and air purification
UN goals 6, 9 and 13
We are mindful in our water consumption, use cleaning water in a closed cycle and use modern water treatment plants to ensure that only purified wastewater is discharged. In the production halls, polluted air is cleaned and fresh air is supplied. Thermal post-combustion solutions are used to eliminate pollutants.

 

Human dignity
UN Goal 8
The Müller companies do not tolerate forced, compulsory and child labor or human trafficking. We also demand this from our business partners and suppliers.

 

CO2 reduction pathway
UN goals 7, 12 and 13
The Müller Group consistently pursues the net-zero target for CO2 emissions. The reduction is realized through targeted measures and investments that are systematically reviewed.

 

Business practices
UN goals 8 and 16
Our business activities are guided by our Credo. This sets out how we manage our Müller companies in harmony with environmental and social concerns. We consistently respect human rights. We offer fair working conditions and always behave correctly towards our competitors. Anti-competitive practices and corruption are prevented through controlled processes.

 

Circular solutions
UN goal 12
Müller companies extend the useful life of their products through high quality, re-use design and service activities. We promote a circular economy, conserve resources and reduce the ecological footprint of our customers.

 

Recycling management
UN goals 12 and 13
We conserve resources and reduce the use of raw materials to a minimum in order to avoid waste as far as possible. Separating waste by type enables lean recycling processes.
