Our Actions

GOAL 8: DECENT WORK AND ECONOMIC GROWTH

Sustainable Development Goal 8, Decent Work and Economic Growth, is pivotal to ensuring that everyone can share the progress that is being made. Sustainable economic growth, employment, and decent work are prerequisites for that. 

In the face of global economic challenges and to lift living standards, efforts must be made to reduce informal employment, increase employment opportunities, create safe and healthy working environments and reduce labour market inequalities. 

In this context, Hegelmann is committed to creating employment, offering fair wages, providing safe working conditions to our employees, ensuring equal opportunities, and investing in the education and training of the next generation of workers.
