Our Commitment to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)

At GreenCo, we believe that sustainability goes beyond restoring ecosystems;

it’s about creating a positive impact on communities and the environment. Our reforestation, ecological restoration, and environmental compensation projects are aligned with the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Through our work, we contribute to achieving these goals, enhancing people’s lives, and protecting the planet.

SDG 6: Clean Water and Sanitation

Impact:

We work on conserving and restoring watersheds through reforestation with native species. This improves water quality, facilitates water regulation, and ensures access to sustainable water sources for local communities.

SDG 13: Climate Action

Impact:

Our reforestation projects contribute to climate change mitigation by capturing carbon. By restoring degraded ecosystems, we promote resilience against extreme climate events, benefiting both companies and communities.

SDG 15: Life on Land

Impact:

Ecological restoration and reforestation with native species promote biodiversity recovery. We contribute to the protection of key areas, such as the Páramo de las Hermosas, and actively work in the conservation of our most fragile ecosystems.

SDG 8: Decent Work and Economic Growth

Impact:

We involve local communities, including single mothers, in our projects, creating sustainable jobs in rural areas. This not only boosts the local economy but also improves living conditions for vulnerable families.

SDG 5: Gender Equality

Impact:

We are committed to reducing the gender gap by providing employment opportunities to women in vulnerable situations, such as single mothers. Through training and employment, we promote equality and female empowerment in our areas of influence.

SDG 1: No Poverty

Impact:

Our environmental investment and compensation projects generate sustainable income for rural communities, helping to reduce poverty and improve the quality of life for families in greatest need.

SDG 10: Reduced Inequalities

Impact:

By prioritizing the most vulnerable sectors, such as single mothers, in our projects, we help to reduce economic and social inequalities. We foster inclusion and generate equitable opportunities for everyone.

Frequently Asked Questions

The 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are measures adopted by world leaders to protect the planet, combat poverty, and work towards its eradication, with the aim of building a more prosperous, just, and sustainable world for future generations.

People and communities are essential for the success of the SDGs. Individuals, organizations, and communities are encouraged to actively participate in promoting and adopting sustainable practices, as well as monitoring and evaluating progress towards the goals. Education, awareness, and local action are crucial to driving meaningful and lasting changes.

Each SDG has specific targets and indicators that allow progress to be measured. The UN and its agencies, together with national governments, are responsible for collecting data, monitoring progress, and publishing periodic reports to ensure transparency and compliance with the objectives.

The private sector plays a crucial role, as companies can contribute through sustainable practices, responsible investments, and strategic partnerships that promote sustainable development. Business initiatives in areas such as innovation, technology, and reducing environmental footprints help achieve several of the SDGs.
