Overview

In 2015, all 193 member countries of the United Nations adopted a resolution known as the “Agenda 2030”. The aim of this agenda is the achievement of sustainable development until 2030, that is the achievement of human development needs across the globe, taking into account the constraints of natural ecosystems. As a result, the achievement of the Agenda 2030 is guided by 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) or “Global Goals”, which are accompanied by a total of 169 targets and 231 indicators.

In order to fulfill the highly interdependent SDGs, all members of the global community, be that from civil society, intergovernmental bodies, academia or the private sector, are called upon to maximise their respective contributions.

Equality of opportunity is the key element for Devire’s strategy. Our recruiters and employees ensure discrimination play no part in the recruitment process, nor the company’s culture. For us, diversity is valuing differences between people and understanding the advantages of employing a diverse range of talents. At the same time, we carefully choose the companies we do business with. We want to cooperate with partners who share the same or similar values ​​because this is the only way we can really influence changes in the world. Another aspect to which we are paying attention is pay transparency. It helped us achieve pay equality or eliminate divides in the workplace. However, we are not stopping there; there are many more plans to implement and goals to accomplish.
