EVO 2030

2030 Agenda

Our planet is facing major economic, social, and environmental challenges. To tackle them, the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) define the global priorities and aspirations for 2030. Their purpose is to focus everyone’s efforts on a common set of targets and objectives to be achieved collectively. They represent an unprecedented opportunity to eradicate extreme poverty and set the planet on the path to sustainability. Governments around the world have already agreed on these goals.

It is now up to organizations to take action and use their creativity and their capacity for innovation to meet the challenges of sustainable development. These goals, which are integrated into the EVO2030 program, allow you to communicate the impact of your organization's own initiatives, both locally and internationally.

EVO2030 Framework

While the next decade will be fully dedicated to achieving the SDGs, companies are still struggling to integrate these goals and their 169 targets into their business strategies. Given this challenge, the EVO2030 Program offers a solution to operationalize the SDGs through an assessment grid for the managerial maturity of organizations. The grid is organized into four (4) dimensions, twenty-three (23) issues and four (4) maturity levels, allowing your organization to contribute to the SDGs while being aligned with the best international sustainability standards.

Standards and influences

Taking into account over ten international frameworks and standards (SASB, GRI, BNQ 21000, ISO 26000, etc.)

Structure of the Program

The Program is driven by an integrated approach to sustainable development, including: a 360-degree diagnosis of organizational issues; a strategic planning phase leading up to 2030; implementation support for a first action plan targeting operational efficiency; and results promotion through a reporting process based on the 17 SDGs.

The integrated approach is offered in parallel with five areas of action.
These areas are used to perform initial assessments, define technical projects, examine best feasibility scenarios, develop a realistic roadmap for annualized impact reductions and, above all, accelerate your organization’s trajectory by maximizing short-, medium- and long-term returns.
