2021 Owens Corning Sustainability Report | Our Approach | UN SDG Alignment | 41 UNITED NATIONS SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT GOALS ALIGNMENT The United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) were established in 2015 as a framework for governments, businesses, and individuals to use in addressing our society’s most pressing issues. By setting our collective sights on these goals, we can help reduce inequality, fight climate change, and more. As Owens Corning has set its own sustainability goals, we have looked to the UN SDGs for guidance and insight. The 17 UN SDGs are as follows: NO POVERTY 3 End poverty in all its forms everywhere. ZERO HUNGER 3 End hunger, achieve food security and improved nutrition, and promote sustainable agriculture. GOOD HEALTH AND WELL-BEING 1 Ensure healthy lives and promote well-being for all at all ages. QUALITY EDUCATION 2 Ensure inclusive and equitable quality education and promote lifelong learning opportunities for all. GENDER EQUALITY 1 Achieve gender equality and empower all women and girls. CLEAN WATER AND SANITATION 1 Ensure availability and sustainable management of water and sanitation for all. AFFORDABLE AND CLEAN ENERGY 1 Ensure access to affordable, reliable, sustainable, and modern energy for all. DECENT WORK AND ECONOMIC GROWTH 1 Promote sustained, inclusive, and sustainable economic growth, full and productive employment, and decent work for all. INDUSTRY, INNOVATION, AND INFRASTRUCTURE 1 Build resilient infrastructure, promote inclusive and sustainable industrialization, and foster innovation. REDUCED INEQUALITIES 2 Reduce inequality within and among countries. SUSTAINABLE CITIES AND COMMUNITIES 2 Make cities and human settlements inclusive, safe, resilient, and sustainable. RESPONSIBLE CONSUMPTION AND PRODUCTION 1 Ensure sustainable consumption and production patterns. CLIMATE ACTION 1 Take urgent action to combat climate change and its impacts. LIFE BELOW WATER 3 Conserve and sustainably use the oceans, seas, and marine resources for sustainable development. LIFE ON LAND 2 Protect, restore, and promote sustainable use of terrestrial ecosystems, sustainably manage forests, combat desertification, halt and reverse land degradation, and halt biodiversity loss. PEACE, JUSTICE, AND STRONG INSTITUTIONS 2 Promote peaceful and inclusive societies for sustainable development, provide access to justice for all, and build effective, accountable, and inclusive institutions at all levels. PARTNERSHIPS FOR THE GOALS 1 Strengthen the means of implementation and revitalize the global partnership for sustainable development. 1 SDGs for which we believe we have the most direct impact or influence through our core business competencies and which are also material to our business. 2 SDGs for which believe we have a lesser and less direct impact, but which nonetheless reflect our values, policies, and outreach work. These may also have a significant impact on stakeholders’ decisions and perceptions about our company. 3 SDGs for which we perceive the least direct influence or impact, although these SDGs do have some overlap with others, our sustainability efforts, and our business. We do still measure and report on some of the indicators. Definitions taken from the Global Goals for Sustainable Development website .
