Sustainability
Aligning
our Sustainability
Pillars with the
UN SDGs
Dangote Cement is a member of several
global initiatives and alliances. The added
value of these alliances is integrated
into our strategic 7 Sustainability Pillars,
creating benefits for our operations,
shareholders and communities. Driven
by the goal of achieving the highest level
of governance, the 7 Sustainability Pillars
are embedded in our corporate culture
and guide our approach to building a
sustainable business.
The Sustainability Pillars include
cultural, economic, operational, social,
environmental, financial and institutional.
Our sustainability strategy also aligns
with the United Nations Sustainable
Development Goals (SDGs). The UN SDGS
are a call for action to promote prosperity
while protecting the planet. Although
Dangote Cement pledges commitment to
all 17 SDGs, as they all have some degree of
connection to our business, the business
identifies 7 specific goals which have the
greatest potential for lasting impact on our
business strategy. Our 7 priority SDGs are
aligned with the 7 Sustainability Pillars, also
known as "The Dangote Way".
