SDGs

At Crystal, the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are closely linked to our mission and values. We have selected three SDGs that are directly integrated into our corporate strategy and day-to-day operations. As a member of the United Nations Global Compact, we regularly monitor and report on our progress toward these goals. Our internal policies and procedures are designed to support these priorities and ensure consistency with our long-term strategy.

We recognize that achieving the SDGs requires cooperation across the public and private sectors. For this reason, we clearly define our commitments and targets for each selected SDG. This allows us to transparently track our performance and better understand our social and environmental impact.
