HANG x United Nations
We are committed to the Sustainable Development Goals of the UN
We don't have to tell anyone that it's almost close. With HÄNG Outdoors we make sure that you are comfortable outside. But we're anything but comfortable when it comes to everything out there. That's why we've donated 100% of our profits and plant thousands of trees every month. That's why we gave away masks when politicians made a profit with them and that's why we offer free advice for voluntary projects & authorities that want to become more digital.
Tobias Tullius, Co-Founder of HÄNG
"For me, HÄNG Outdoors is a vehicle. With the help of the company, we can generate enthusiasm in people
who were rather ambivalent about camping. With our reach we can educate. As an employer, we can show how things can be done better and we can use our profit to help people do their valuable work better."
Today we go one step further
With immediate effect we are committed to the Sustainable Development Goals of the United Nations . We undertake to play an active part in achieving them. No lip service. But with actions, deeds and key figures. But more on that in a moment...
What are the SDGs?
Die Sustainable Development Goals der UN
Okay - "Sustainable Development Goals" (SDGs), the
sounds pretty complicated at first. To put it simply, there are 17 concrete goals behind it.
A kind of blueprint on how we can meet some of the global challenges of our time.
The SDGs define how poverty and hunger are reduced, health improved, equality
made possible and the planet should be protected.
All of these goals are to be achieved by 2030. They were from the
Member States of the United Nations decided and apply to all
Countries – both developed and developing countries are for the
responsible for implementation.
And we find: The responsibility of states alone is not enough! Each of us can do something
to make the world a better place. For this reason: Let's do it!
