The UN 2030 Agenda reflets a global effort to address the impact on planetary health caused by human action.
Current consumption and continuous production level reveal inconsistencies in relation to the desired sustainability. It presupposes greater attention to people and the planet rather than the purely economic aspect.Negative impacts such as environmental pollution, exhaustion of systemic services, loss of biodiversity, harmful discharges into the environmental, social exclusion,slave labor, among others, must be overcome.
The creation of 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) is a proposal that we support, even though world governance may present divergences regarding responsability and actions.Although all SDGs are interrelated, iKrom's actions and puposes are directly regarding to SDGs 8, SDG 12, SDG 14 and SDG 15, which guide our research actions, technical support in training people and in the development os new products.
As a servive provider, iKrom's more specific focus is to act within the scope of SDG 12, including the development of ecological education focused on textiles in direct harmony with SDG 4 regarding to education, which should certaly include topics such as more conscious consumption and raising awareness of climate issues.
The climate cause must be colletive and for this reason we support the SDG 17 which explains the strenghtening the means of implementation and revitalization of global partnership for the improved planetary health. These are essencial actions to address environmental degeneration and its direct relationship with life and social inequalities.Environmental Preservation and Regeneration are goal of iKrom, which through partnerships aims to support the basic SDG 15 - Terrestrial Life, contributing with 1% of gross revenue to projects such as the reforestation od degraded areas in Brazil.
For the iKrom cycle between 2023-2030 the topic of microplastics from textile water leads us to SDG 14 - Life in Water, which is incorporated into the regeneration and contributions goals of 1% established by the Company.
Details os our partnership are available on the pabe actions.
