The UN set out Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) for businesses around the world. Savills have aligned with 9 of the 17 UN SDGs, that are the most relevant to our business, three of which come under our culture approach: 

• Good health and wellbeing: Our goal is to provide healthy workplaces, encourage healthy lifestyles and raise awareness of mental health & wellbeing.
• Gender equality: We actively promote gender equality and aim to maintain a diverse and inclusive workplace.
• Decent work and economic growth: We are committed to operating responsibly and providing fair, safe and diverse culture.
