CONTRIBUTING TO THE SDGS
SDG IMPACT ASSESSMENT
At Desert Control, we continuously evolve our services, operations, and targets as they relate to the SDGs. At the core of our business functions is a drive to provide sustainable, innovative, and resilient infrastructure (SDG 9 & SDG 13). Through our services and programs, we are committed to empowering societies by reducing inequalities (SDG 10), empowering women and girls (SDG 5), and enabling quality education (SDG 4). Together, these five SDGs form the bedrock of our global commitments.
SDG IMPACT ASSESSMENT 2023
Desert Control continues to develop and assess our goals, responsibilities, and impact as they relate to the SDGs.
SDG impact can be viewed through two lenses. The first lens describes the positive impact of Desert Control’s products and services on the SDG targets. The second shows how Desert Control’s potential and actual risks may also impact the SDG targets. Together, they provide a broad and interconnected picture of which SDGs Desert Control has the most impact on and engagement with. In our yearly SDG Impact Assessment, the size of each SDG icon reflects Desert Control’s impact.
Our methodology is based on principles put forth in the UN Global Compact and GRI report, “Integrating the SDGs into Corporate Reporting: A Practical Guide.” Each year, Desert Control assesses initiatives and risks that could impact the SDGs, maps these initiatives and risks against specific SDG targets, and ranks the SDGs based on the frequency of the SDG targets addressed. The results of the ranking are then reflected in the size of the SDG icons within the yearly SDG Impact Assessment report.
