The Sustainability Action Plan is part of Stevia Hellas Cooperative’s (SHC) transformation “Sustainability for all” program which intends to accelerate the evolution of our Cooperative through sustainable, profitable growth that delivers value to our customers, farmers, shareholders, staff, communities and our planet.

We are strong believers that responsible consumption and production are fundamental to a sustainable, viable, and equitable future: We can only achieve this by increasing economic growth and people’s well-being while reducing the overconsumption of natural resources and restoring biodiversity

For ALL

Overview

The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), also known as the Global Goals, were adopted by all United Nations Member States in 2015 as a universal call to action to end poverty, protect the planet and ensure that all people enjoy peace and prosperity by 2030. The 17 SDGs are integrated that is, they recognize that action in one area will affect outcomes in others & that development must balance social, economic & environmental sustainability. We are active members of the initiative “Kosmos.gr” located in Greece spreading awareness & taking action on SDGs on national and international levels.
