Trade with Purpose for Sustainable Development

amfori’s Vision is a world where all trade delivers social,

environmental and economic benefits for everyone.

This vision is aligned with the global sustainable

development agenda for 2030. The Sustainable

Development Goals (SDGs) provide a common language

to describe the many challenges the world faces. They

describe clear targets and accountability for the global

community, including businesses, to deliver a sustainable

future together.

Collaboration is the cornerstone of amfori’s network and

activities. It is also the only pathway to create systemic

changes necessary to achieve the SDGs.
