Goal 2: End hunger, achieve food security and improved nutrition and promote sustainable agriculture
2: Batch coding technology enables efficient supply chain management and traceability, and provides the method for consumers to make sustainable choices. Date coding helps retailers and consumers to monitor stockholding to eliminate food waste. Variable data such as ingredients lists can inform regarding nutrition and allergens, while investments in extending the range of supported materials is aimed at assisting the world’s manufacturers to reduce packaging.
Goal 3: Ensure healthy lives and promote well-being for all ages.
3: Our identification coding solutions provide extensive supply chain validation and control, from protecting the consumer against counterfeit products (including pharmaceuticals) to the management of hazardous chemicals. We also promote and fund health and well-being initiatives to our employees and their families across the group. For example in the UK we support mental health well-being and have a dedicated team of 15 mental health first aiders.
Goal 8: Promote inclusive and sustainable economic growth, employment and decent work for all.
8: We support global economic growth in the developing world with a wide range of solutions that make it quicker and easier for manufacturers of all sizes to comply with both domestic and international industry regulation, allowing them to be global in their outlook and ambitions. We have a worldwide trained workforce and help with the creation of a global skills base. Our product interfaces have been designed to be highly visual and easy to use (including the option of label configuration from central offices) allowing for a more inclusive workforce on production lines. We uphold both internal and supply chain policies about worker rights and prevention of forced work and slavery.
Goal 9: Build resilient infrastructure, promote inclusive and sustainable industrialization and foster innovation
9: Our technologies support the creation of local infrastructures and enable cross border trade. As a global player, we enable development and local innovation through an international network of manufacturing and distribution facilities, with technology investment, research and development happening in offices across the world. In successfully overcoming the recent challenges due to the COVID-19 pandemic, we have illustrated the resilience of our infrastructure to support small and large manufacturers the world over.
Goal 12: Ensure sustainable consumption and production patterns.
12: Sustainable consumption and production aim at "doing more with less"; we provide industry solutions to achieve this via traceability, supply chain data provision and enable sustainable behaviour through transparency.
Goal 16: Promote just, peaceful and inclusive societies
16: We have high ethical values and ensure that our partners and suppliers abide by our principles, wherever they are.
