Creating Value and Alignment to United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UN SDGs) CICT-endorsed material ESG issues and the value created1, aligned to CLI’s 2030 SMP focus areas and commitments, are mapped to CICT’s resources namely, Financial, Organisational, Properties, Environment, and Stakeholders and Communities. They are further mapped against eight UN SDGs that most aligned with the CLI’s 2030 SMP focus areas, and where CICT can achieve the greatest positive impact. The UN SDGs call on companies everywhere to advance sustainable development through the investments they make, the solutions they develop, and the business practices they adopt. In doing so, the goals encourage companies to reduce their negative impacts while enhancing their positive contributions to the sustainable development agenda.
