Committed to the Sustainable Development Goals

Our society faces the major challenge of an ageing population. We are by producing technological innovations and scientific advances that have the potential to develop new solutions for diseases and ailments.

Society wants to be inclusive, offering solutions to its most vulnerable members, in particularly disabled and elderly people. A healthy society also requires the development of healthy eating and habits.

Investment in education and culture is critical because it has a multiplier effect on every society. To guarantee quality education, as well as responsible and conscious access to education and culture, it is essential to ensure the proper development of people and a society with values and integrator of all its members.

New technologies ("edtech") make it possible to develop educational tools that strengthen the development of children's talents in an inclusive and adapted manner.

From 1950 to 2015 the world population has grown from 2.5 billion to 7.3 billion. It is predicted that will continue to increase by more than one billion people over the next 15 years, reaching 8,500 million in 2030 and 11.2 billion in 2100.

Population growth will further emphasize the scarcity of resources in a finite world, and will demand effective strategies to ensure responsible production and consumption, with access to to clean water and integrated waste recycling systems.

New production and consumption formulas such as sustainable agriculture, proximity consumption and circular economy proposals can provide appropriate solutions in this regard.

The human footprint in the climate system is clear and growing. At the Conference of the Paris Climate 2015 (COP21), 195 countries adopted a global climate agreement to reduce greenhouse gas emissions to mitigate global temperature increase to 2°C above pre-industrial levels.

On the other hand, by 2014, 54 per cent of the world's population resided in urban areas and it is expected that this figure will rise to 66 per cent by 2050, representing an increase in the urban population of 2.5 billion people.

The future of cities entails social and environmental challenges. Challenges in this field are huge, like creating more sustainable cities, reducing industrial pollution, to develop non-polluting energy sources accessible to all and to achieve a high level of energy efficiency. sustainable agriculture to respond to growing demand in a way that is respectful of the environment. nature. The implementation of scientific and technological innovations (bioagriculture, IoT, smartcities, etc.) can offer new tools to provide concrete solutions and to these challenges.

An advanced society is very aware that progress must be shared and must reach all its members. For this reason it is necessary to bet on business projects that, with a strong component of social innovation and supported by technological solutions, promote social an labor integration and work of all members of society, in particular persons with disabilities and other vulnerable groups, such as young people, the elderly and migrants.

In addition, an advanced society develops solidarity solutions to contribute to solving the problems of the challenges of developing countries.
