Contributing to UN Sustainable Development Goals

Ramboll is a strong supporter of the United Nations’ 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The 17 SDGs comprise concrete targets and indicators that UN member states and private companies can use to frame their agendas and policies over the next 15 years. 

We contribute to all 17 SDGs and they form the basis for defining our future strategic direction. We have mapped which of the SDGs are focal points for each of our Markets.

Through sustainable design, including the selection and use of sustainable resources and materials, we create healthy indoor climates and energy-efficient buildings.
