Company currently promotes SDG Goals 3 and 4
Tristar Group CEO Eugene Mayne has called on companies in the UAE to support the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of the United Nations focused to end poverty, protect the planet, and ensure prosperity for all people of the planet.
Speaking at the UN Global Goals Workshop, organized by International Quality and Excellence consultant Sunil Thawani, Mayne reiterated that business leaders must support the 10 Principles of the UN Global Compact (UNGC) ‘not just by lip service but by action.’
The 10 Principles cover four areas related to human rights, labor, environment and anti-corruption and directly contribute to the 17 SDGs, a set of economic, social and environmental goals ratified by 193 countries, including UAE at the UN in September.
“Since our inception in 1998, we made a commitment to be a responsible business and today this commitment underpins every decision we make,” Mayne declared at the workshop.
Tristar is promoting SDG No. 3 on good health and well-being and No. 4 on quality education with its road safety awareness campaigns in the GCC and with its support to the education sector in South Sudan and Kenya, respectively.
Thawani presented compelling facts about the SDGs and inspiring stories of individual Leaders, Groups and Organizations who take a stand on social issues they care about and are making a positive difference across the world.
