In September 2015, all 193 Member States of the United Nations adopted a plan for achieving a better future for all – laying out a path over the next 15 years to end extreme poverty, fight inequality and injustice, and protect our planet. At the heart of “Agenda 2030” are 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and 232 related indicators that address the most important economic, social, environmental and governance challenges of our time. The SDGs clearly define the world we want – applying to all nations and leaving no one behind. While the scale and scope of the global goals is unprecedented, the fundamental ways that we as a business can contribute remain unchanged. As per the directives of the UN Global Compact York Towers do business responsibly by making the Ten Principles an integral part of our daily business decision-making and operations.
With the relevant corporate sustainability policies and commitments in place, we at York Towers have formed a foundation of a responsible business strategy, moreover we’re bringing these corporate policies to life in daily operations, firmly implementing, embedding and enforcing them. We will continue to be vigilant and do our best to respond to all SDGs in our power for the long-term welfare of our communities and future generations.

• Our land-use patterns, planning and design, and construction practices and materials are major determinants of greenhouse gas emissions, these are relevant for SDGs 7,11, 12 and 13.
• We adhere to the strictest standards of construction and end-of-life waste generation and disposal, as these affect the environment and communities and are relevant for SDGs 3,6,11,12 and 15.
• We construct quality and affordable housing that again is a major quality-of-life determinant and is relevant for SDG 11.
• Our business and investments in real estate development offer a pathway out of poverty through fostering economic growth, as well as employment opportunities, with this we respond to SDGs 1,8,10 and 16.
