Impact and Sustainability - SDG

    Supporting the achievement of the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) is at the core of what PES does, both at the firm level and at the client engagement level.

    Our work primarily aligns with SDG 8 (Decent Work and Economic Growth) and SDG 5 (Gender Equality). However, through our diverse project portfolio and focus on sustainable development, we also contribute significantly to other goals including SDG 1 (No Poverty), SDG 2 (Zero Hunger), SDG 4 (Quality Education), SDG 6 (Clean Water and Sanitation), SDG 7 (Affordable and Clean Energy), SDG 9 (Industry, Innovation, and Infrastructure), and SDG 13 (Climate Action).
