We have identified these key sustainability themes for the group to focus on in the next three years.
We are a responsible business committed to creating sustainable value for all our stakeholders. We take our responsibility seriously and are fully committed to identifying and focusing on our goals under our board-approved group sustainability plan.
We recognise the importance of the six capitals and the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals (UN SDGs), which address global challenges and aim to achieve a sustainable future for all.
Every year we review our sustainability as part of our strategic planning. In the past two years we have progressively stepped up our planning in terms of sustainability and we are looking to continue with this in the years ahead.

This will enable us to translate key themes into goals and key performance indicators in the business plan, and to track, monitor and report on progress made over time.
Our aim is to ensure our sustainability initiatives are incorporated into strategy, business plans and day-to-day decisionmaking, and to develop appropriate reporting.
We will focus on the material issues and SDGs on which we can have the biggest positive impact.
We will continue to:
As we continue to refine and evolve our sustainability strategy, we are working to identify and focus on the SDGs where we can make the biggest positive difference.
As a global consumer internet group and technology investor, the group contributes to the UN SDGs on multiple levels and with different intensities. Prosus contributes to the SDGs on a group level through its strategy, its groupwide policies and its inherent investment activities. This results in a core focus on three main SDGs. Moreover, Prosus also contributes to the UN SDGs through the strategies and the initiatives sustained by many of its businesses worldwide.
See more information on our contribution to these goals at both a group level and business level in our integrated annual report. Please refer to the SDG contribution index for specific references.
