Sustainable Development Goals: The UN and Hevalia’s proposal for a better future

Introduction to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)

In a world facing urgent challenges such as climate change, poverty, and social inequality, the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of the United Nations (UN) represent a clear roadmap towards a fairer and more balanced future.

These 17 goals, established in 2015 as part of the 2030 Agenda, aim to tackle the most pressing global challenges from an integrated perspective, bringing together governments, businesses, and citizens in a shared effort.

Data Protection Officer (DPO)

Additionally, they act as a liaison between the company, the Spanish Data Protection Agency (AEPD), employees, and customers.

Their role is crucial in ensuring regulatory compliance, advising on the correct handling of information within the company, and guiding decision-makers on impact assessments.

Family Business Succession

If there is one thing that defines a family business, it is its commitment to permanence: transcending time and leaving a legacy for future generations. That is why succession is one of the key aspects of ensuring the continuity and success of these businesses.

However, more than half of business owners lack a succession plan; in fact, most companies do not survive beyond the third generation.

Having a well-structured plan for generational transition is essential. This plan should address delicate situations such as an incapacitating illness, the passing of the business owner, or the involvement of descendants, clearly establishing who will take over the business and how.

Outsourcing, Necessary for Companies and Entrepreneurs

Most entrepreneurs have great talents, but many times they think they can do it all. That can really stop business growth. By outsourcing day-to-day tasks, the business owner has more time to focus on generating income. It also saves personnel costs (payroll, taxes, social security …) and space in the work facilities.
