Our goal is to find solutions that are more sustainable for the environment, people, and the economy ‒ for Earth and For Us. We aim to make choices that have a positive impact while reducing negative effects on the environment, human well-being, and economic systems. We are committed to responsible and impactful scientific research, a human-focused approach to working life, and ethically sound practices.
Geosciences play an important role in the global implementation of the UN Sustainable Development Goals. Geology can be used in managing the impacts of climate change, supporting decision making related to environmental change and protection, and ensuring the supply and sustainable use of critical raw materials.
GTK`s sustainability goals are based on selected UN Sustainable Development Goals. We also examine our sustainability work through environmental, social and governance sustainability.
