Sustainable Development Goals

SCU supports the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. For each goal, we continually highlight a different organization, department, or program at SCU that is working towards that specific goal.

You can help build a sustainable world one action at a time –– at home, at work, and in the community. In each Instagram post, we give real actions anyone can take to help make progress towards that goal. All the actions come from our Sustainability Playbooks.
