We set new targets and goals for the ERM Foundation.
The ERM Foundation will focus its resources on projects and programs that make a measurable contribution to the SDGs. We have placed particular emphasis on the intersection between reducing carbon emissions, protecting biodiversity, and investing in women and children as agents of sustainable development. We will report on progress against these targets in future Sustainability Reports. See more in the ERM Foundation Annual Review 2020.
