● Examples of good practice for these topics:
• In general, for all topics, corporate self-regulation can help in corporate practice, e.g.
corporate codes of ethics, more advanced forms are ethical and social audits often
linked to environmental audits, corporate/corporate responsibility. Introduce and
implement diversity, social responsibility, codes of ethics, etc.
• Companies set up projects, join organisations/associations to increase corporate
responsibility.
• Obtain certifications supporting the SDGs.
• Use goods in accordance with Fairtrade standards. Fairtrade is trade based on
partnership. The FAIRTRADE® mark indicates goods that have been produced
in accordance with Fairtrade standards. This means that strict social,
environmental and economic criteria have been maintained in its production.
Fairtrade stands for fairer trading conditions, respect for human and labour rights
and environmental friendliness. (see https://www.fairtrade.net/issue/sdgs).
• For examlpe - the PURITY VISION® brand - uses Fair Trade raw materials for
its products (The first company in the Czech Republic and Slovakia to be certified
Fair for life. The company cooperates with individual farmers in Uganda, the
Philippine Islands or Bulgaria to help raise a stable income for socially
disadvantaged families).
• For example, Tierra Verde uses input materials and raw materials that are as
ecological, fair and organic as possible (Ecogarantia, PEFC or GOTS
certificates), thus contributing to a better and healthier world. Humanity and social
responsibility are an important part of the company's corporate values.
• For example, Nespresso works in line with B Corp™ values, contributing to
sustainable livelihoods, supporting farmers and helping to protect the
environment.
• Universities and schools are engaging with the SDGs, e.g. Codes of Ethics, Human
Resources Strategy For Researchers (HRS4R), implementation of the Code of
Conduct for the Recruitment of Researchers, etc.
• Universities and schools focus their educational activities not only on their students,
but also on the general public, e.g. Elearning courses, Third Age Universities,
courses and clubs for children, organize cultural, educational and sports events,
organize green projects.
