Investment holding company MBH Corporation’s public support for the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals has been recognised by Support the Goals, an initiative to rate and recognise those businesses that support the UN Global Goals.
In recognition of that support, MBH has been awarded a five-star rating as the Company continues its work towards supporting a more sustainable future.
Stars are awarded when businesses publicly demonstrate plans, commitments, actions and progress towards the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
The SDGs were agreed in 2015 by world leaders as a plan to end poverty, extreme inequality and climate change by 2030. The goals can only be achieved with concerted and dedicated support from businesses.
MBH’s commitment to supporting the goals is exemplified in a several key areas, most notably in its support for SDG 8 ‘decent work and economic growth’ which is exemplified by Securing 2000 people into new jobs either within the group or through group service delivery each year. As well as this commitment MBH is supporting 10+ companies per year to join the Group, in 2020 alone MBH added 12 new companies to its portfolio.
MBH has also announced that they will match their CO2 emissions impact with positive CO2 projects ton for ton every year. This started with the company offsetting all 358 tonnes of Carbon it produced in 2020.
Furthermore, as a reflection of MBH’s support for SDG 10 (reduced inequalities) MBH has 50% female representation on its board and supports one board apprentice each year from an under-represented group.
Callum Laing, CEO of MBH Corporation plc said: “We’re hugely proud to be recognised in this way by Support the Goals and the five-star rating is a strong reflection of our commitment to sustainability and fairness. Our commitment to ESG is at the heart of our business and we are continually looking to find new ways to make sure we continue to have a positive impact on our people and the planet.
“As part of the Support the Goals initiative we are in the company of some of the most future facing and innovative organisations in the world and we can all learn from each other as we grow and commit to a better world by 2030.”
