UN Sustainable Development Goals 10 Years – Alma participates in building a sustainable future

On September 25, it will be ten years since the United Nations’ 193 member states agreed on the Sustainable Development Goals and the Agenda 2030 action plan. At the heart of the program are 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), which guide work on sustainability until 2030. Thousands of actors around the world – including Alma Media – have committed to promoting these goals.

Agenda 2030 is already more than halfway through, but only 15% of the goals are on track to be achieved. Finland is one of the best-performing countries in reaching these goals, especially in terms of social sustainability, but there is still much room for improvement in environmental and climate objectives. 

Today 25th of September 2025 is SDG Flag Day—the global anniversary of the Sustainable Development Goals. Companies, communities, and other organizations demonstrate their commitment to the goals, raise awareness about the UN’s action plan, and drive change across different sectors of society. 

The UN Global Compact SDG’s relevant for Alma Media are listed below. Hover over each image or use keyboard focus to discover what Alma is doing to support each goal. 

We focus on the competence development of our employees and support personal career development by providing many kinds of training and coaching. Our selection of publications and training enables the development of skills required in working life.

Our media increase understanding of the importance of equal working life in society. We offer equal opportunities for development and require gender equality and the development of diversity and sense of inclusion in our work community.

Our financial and professional media focus on the promotion of sustainable financial growth. Our cooperation with various parties aims to support young people and those suffering from reduced working capacity. Alma is an employer and a taxpayer in 11 European countries.

Our media raise awareness about innovations for sustainable development, the financial and non-financial results of companies and solutions to mitigate climate change. We also encourage innovation in our organisation.

We bring together supply and demand as well as service providers and consumers and offer sustainable options for housing, mobility, working life and recruitment.

Our media publish news about the environmental impacts of different industries and increase awareness of sustainable consumption. We seek to maximise the positive environmental impacts of our operations and inspire to make sustainable choices.

The carbon footprint of our operations was halved within the past seven years. We set an example for our industry in the transition to a low-carbon society. We minimise the CO2 emissions of our own operations and those of our subcontracting chain.

Reliable and independent journalism is a precondition for functional democracy in society. Our media cherish peace and fairness, examine the ethically sustainable operations of those in power and do not hesitate to reveal any injustices.

Our media and services are widely connected with business and society and through numerous sustainable projects in our 11 European countries. We carefully select our partners and require ethically sustainable business.
