LSG Group commits to six UN Sustainable Development Goals

The Sustainable Development Goals were created in 2015 as a ‘blueprint for peace and prosperity for people and the planet’.

LSG’s Sustainable Development Goals include:

• Good health and well-being: The company’s strict hygiene standards and pandemic guidelines have proven effective in maintaining the physical health of the LSG Group’s employees.
• Gender equality: There is an equal opportunity regardless of gender, identity, skin colour, ethnicity or religion.
• Decent work and economic growth: LSG Group continues to seek out new business opportunities, in spite of the pandemic, while never compromising the working conditions of its employees.
• Responsible consumption and production: As a food producer, the LSG Group recognises its unique position and duty to foster sustainable consumption.
• Climate action: Projects such as Zero to Landfill, launched by the company’s North American team, resulted in over 36,500 tons of waste recycled in 2019.
• Partnerships for the goals: Last December, the LSG Group’s employees used the UN World Food Program’s ShareTheMeal app to share over 5,000 meals with people in need.

Erdmann Rauer, chief executive of the LSG Group, said: “As the first company in our industry to track environmental data in 1994 and introduce an environmental policy in 2008, we feel it is our responsibility to continue that tradition.

“Now it is time to broaden our focus and make an impact in other sustainability areas as well. With our unique position in the food and travel industry, we are able and proud to actively support the UN’s sustainable goals.”
