Sustainable development goals
Metaflex for a better world
Metaflex thinks it’s important to contribute to a better and cleaner world. Therefore, we have committed ourselves to four of the seventeen Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of the United Nations (UN). Our goal: make the world a better place in the year 2030.
Seventeen specific ambitions
In 2012 the SDGs were drawn as a continuation on the first Millennium Development Goals which were put-up in the year 2000. With the first shared blueprint they tried to fight extreme poverty, inequality, diseases and hunger. Some of the goals were achieved and big steps were taken in the right direction on all goals.
The current SDGs are based on input from individuals and organizations and have therefore more support-base. In addition, they are more ambitious. Except for the fight against poverty and hunger, there is now more attention on safety, economic development and environment. Behind these 17 goals are 169 targets that make the goals even more specific. For more information, we refer you to the website of the UN.
The five goals Metaflex has committed herself to are; good health and well-being, affordable and clean energy, decent work and economic growth and last responsible consumption and production.
3. Good health and well-being
Metaflex is committed to promote Good Health & Well Being to both its employees and the underprivileged section of society.
In keeping with this commitment, the company offers subsidized healthy and nutritious meals to its employees. In addition, Annual Health Check-up and Health Insurance schemes provide support to employees in preventing illness, improve well being and offers financial assistance in the event of illness.
The global health crisis due to COVID-19 pandemic has endowed every individual and organization the responsibility to contribute in mitigating the risk and bringing normalcy. In this regard, Metaflex, apart from strictly following all COVID-19 protocols, carried out a number of activities during the pandemic that includes organizing three Vaccination Camps, distribution of Sanitization kits and Ration to its workers and underprivileged.
