Our UNSDGs

From day-to-day business activities to collaborative action, Novo-K is committed towards upholding sustainability at the core of our operations. Since 2016, we have pledged to support the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), focusing on actively contributing to the development of three SDGs by partnering with three different charities.

Gender Equality aims to end all forms of discrimination against all women and girls. We have partnered with the Microloan Foundation to support their women’s empowerment mission in sub-saharan Africa.

With every new client at Novo-K, we make a donation that will help a woman set up their own small business.

Larger Impact

The United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are designed to be integrated. This means that action in one area will create outcomes in others, creating balanced and collective impact across social, economic, and environmental sustainability.

While the SDGs that we have primarily pledged are Gender Equality (5), Industry Innovation and Infrastructure (9) and Climate Action (13), our work has consequently contributed towards the development of the following SDGs:

Novo-K has created impact in 10 areas that contribute towards larger sustainable development. We are very proud to have partnered with charities that enable us to make a difference and contribute towards the wellbeing and development of larger society and the planet as a whole.

Our mission is to continue working towards our SDGs and widen our network to create larger impact through collaborative action.
