Park Place Technologies is committed to the United Nations (UN) Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), a universal call, delivered through a set of 17 objectives endorsed by world leaders in 2015, that aims to protect the planet and create a sustainable future for all by 2030.

These goals address critical global challenges, including poverty, inequality, climate change, environmental degradation, peace and justice. Park Place’s commitment involves selecting the goals where we feel there is both a core values and business alignment, and where we believe we can make the most impact.

The SDG goals we have chosen to pursue are:

  • Goal 8 – Decent Work & Economic Growth
  • Goal 10 – Reduced Inequalities
  • Goal 12 – Responsible Consumption and Production
  • Goal 13 – Climate Action

Against each of the four SDG goals we have chosen to pursue, we have set ourselves three measurable and time-bound targets to attain:
