U.N. Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)
The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are 17 global objectives that make up the United Nations’ 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. They call for coordinated action to end poverty, protect the planet, and ensure peace and prosperity for all people. For businesses, the SDGs provide a framework to align strategy with global priorities and create meaningful, measurable positive impact.

Sustainable Development Goals FAQs
Corbion prioritizes four key SDGs under its BRIGHT 2030 strategy: SDG 3 (Good Health and Well‑Being), SDG 12 (Responsible Consumption and Production), SDG 13 (Climate Action), and SDG 14 (Life Below Water). These reflect areas where Corbion’s solutions deliver the most measurable positive impact.

Corbion conducts a robust SDG impact assessment, which includes reviewing its value chain, portfolio, and revenue data to determine where the company can maximize positive impact and minimize negative impacts.

Corbion previously emphasized SDG 2 (Zero Hunger) but shifted under the BRIGHT 2030 strategy to focus more strongly on SDG 3, SDG 12, SDG 13, and SDG 14. This change reflects a refined understanding of where Corbion’s products create the greatest measurable impact, such as food waste reduction (now aligned with SDG 12) and climate‑related benefits.
Corbion reports that a significant share of its net sales contributes directly to SDGs related to food production, health, and the planet—for example, 60–65% of net sales in recent years have supported these areas, with goals to increase this to over 80–85% by 2030. Additionally, 100% of innovation projects are assessed for SDG impact to ensure they contribute positively to sustainability outcomes.
