SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT GOALS
SDG 8: Decent Work and Economic Growth
The eighth Sustainable Development goal aims to promote inclusive and sustainable economic growth, employment, and decent work for all. Productive employment and decent work are key elements to achieving fair globalization and poverty reduction. The ultimate goal is to build dynamic, sustainable, innovative and people-centered economies that promote economic empowerment and decent work for all. Faculty and students at PCGS seek to establish sustainable businesses and practices that promote economic prosperity while also ensuring that the essential social and environmental needs of communities are met.
