CNG Group recognizes that in order to succeed in today’s global marketplace, sustainability must be embedded in the way we do business. That’s why our vision is to integrate the environmental, social, and economic dimensions of sustainability into our core business strategy, and to ensure that throughout our business we have a deep understanding of the megatrends that will affect our company, and society at large, for the next several decades.
Population growth presents a clear challenge. By 2050, an estimated nine billion people will inhabit the earth, with more than 60 percent living in urban centers. The rapid rise in new middle-class families will result in an increase in global consumption. We also acknowledge that no one company can address these issues alone. The scale of the challenge is too large, too urgent, and requires speed never before imagined. Therefore, as a Group we must collaborate with our stakeholders and business partners across the value chain. We must develop innovative sustainability solutions for the industries and regions in which we operate.
Our vision and strategy for sustainability recognizes there are no simple solutions to address the environmental, social, and economic needs of society. We must reexamine our achievements and challenges on a regular basis. For this reason, we describe sustainability as a journey for our business that requires continuous learning, adaptation, and improvement of our basic business processes and our response to the priorities of our diverse stakeholders. We are working to optimize our impact, reevaluate our priorities, and ensure that we are viewing our core business strategy through the lens of sustainability.
