For Molson Coors, it’s Our Imprint, and we’re making sure the impact we have is a positive one. In 2017, we set ambitious 2025 sustainability goals, based on a robust sustainability materiality assessment. Our targets, which we aligned with the SDGs, developed by the United Nations, are designed to guide our efforts toward more focused actions throughout our operations. The targets encourage us to address the challenges that we see in the world, to meet the expectations of our stakeholders and to satisfy the needs of our consumers and build long-term, sustainable value for our business. We are currently three years into our efforts to meet these 2025 targets and we’re excited to share our progress. Supporting the SDGs In 2015, the UN developed 17 global goals for sustainable development, designed to make the world a better place for both people and the environment. At Molson Coors, we have identified the following nine SDGs on which we believe we can have the biggest impact: GOAL 2: GOAL 3: GOAL 5: Zero Hunger Good Health and Gender Equality Well-Being GOAL 6: GOAL 7: GOAL 8: Clean Water and Affordable and Decent Work and Sanitation Clean Energy Economic Growth A POSITIVE IMPRINT IMPRINT POSITIVE A GOAL 12: GOAL 13: GOAL 17: Responsible Consumption Climate Action Partnership for and Production the Goals Find out more about how we’re contributing to the SDGs in our SDG Impact Report.
