Sustainability Strategy Blueprint

In September 2015, the United Nations adopted 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) for the 2030 sustainable development agenda. In achieving these goals of sustainable development, apart from relying on the power between nations, enterprises will also play an indispensable role. As a global citizen and an important member of the semiconductor industry chain, Novatek endeavors to combine corporate sustainable development with the SDGs, jointly seeking a better, more sustainable future through its own goals and efforts. Novatek selected 16 priority goals from the 17 SDGs. Regarding potential risks or opportunities for SDGs arising from operational activities, relevant countermeasures will be actively developed in the future.
