In September 2015, 193 countries came together to ratify a set of 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) to serve as a roadmap towards a more sustainable future for the world. At this point Scana and its portfolio companies have selected four goals to guide our everyday work. As a part of Scana, we actively use these four sustainability goals as a road map to fight for a more sustainable planet.
