SDG Ambition

On March 28, 2024, West Dala completed the participation in the SDG Ambition program, an educational course developed by UN experts to integrate the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) into the strategic and operational activities of the companies. This program was the first launched in Central Asia Countries and aroused the great interest – more than 100 representatives of 40 companies from Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, and Kyrgyzstan took a part in the Accelerator. As a result, 62 representatives from 31 companies were able to successfully complete the training – all of them were awarded with UN Global Compact Certificates at the event, which they received from the hands of the UN Permanent Coordinator in Kazakhstan, Ms. Mikaela Friberg-Storey, as well as the country coordinator of the UN Global Compact in Kazakhstan, Ms. Dinara Seijaparova. The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are globally accepted goals aimed at combating inequality, as well as protecting the planet and ensuring peace and prosperity for the entire population. Participation in the Accelerator is designed to facilitate ESG transformation and help integrate the SDGs into West Dala's operations, which will improve financial performance and increase investment attractiveness.
