Corticeira Amorim's Sustainability Strategy is aligned not only with the Company's Values and Mission and in-house policies, but also with its commitment to stakeholders and to the UN sustainable development goals (SDGs).
Regular stakeholder consultation is considered to be essential for definition and subsequent validation of strategic options and for understanding the expectations of the main stakeholders.
In view of the commitment and ambition, Corticeira Amorim has identified 12 SDGs as priorities for its Sustainable Development Strategy: SDG3, SDG4, SDG5, SDG6, SDG7, SDG8, SDG9, SDG11, SDG12, SDG13, SDG15 and SDG17.
The strategic alignment of the entire organisation is enhanced through use of a balanced scorecard methodology. The Board of Directors is responsible for approving strategic objectives, strategic initiatives and priority actions.
