The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) were drawn up by the United Nations in 2015 and form a global plan of action for peace, prosperity and environmental protection. Interconnected and universal, they provide a trajectory for many players guiding them during the transition towards sustainable development that respects women and men, the regions and the planet. Reducing inequality, responsible production, protecting health, using clean energy, quality education the seventeen SDGs are a real lever for change at all levels and are accompanied by specific targets intended to guide organizations in implementing their agenda to move toward more responsible activities. The Rmn Grand Palais approach lies within this global framework and strivings to direct its actions in a way that meets those SDGs that are of more direct concern to it.

The Rmn Grand Palais endeavours to play a dual role in order to offer its own response to current social, societal and environmental issues. As a public establishment with nearly one thousand employees, it has a significant responsibility towards them, as well as to its audiences and customers. As a cultural operator, it must also be able to set an example and show the way forward.

As such, the establishment takes a proactive approach, both in terms of its own actions and those it conducts with its partners. It aims to be able to take concrete action on a daily basis, involving all its employees in this approach, wherever they are and whatever their role, thereby bringing a community-led response to environmental and social challenges.
