In the fall of 2015, the United Nations adopted the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). These 17 goals are meant to be achieved by all countries worldwide by 2030.
The maritime sector is familiar with ongoing global challenges, some of which have a direct impact on its operations. Fender manufacturers within this industry are aware of their responsibility in addressing these challenges.
