EFNARC’s Commitment to UN Sustainable Development Goals
EFNARC is dedicated to advancing sustainability in the construction industry by aligning with key UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Through training, innovation, and collaboration, EFNARC actively supports the following goals:
Goal 4: Quality Education
This goal aims to ensure inclusive and equitable quality education and promote lifelong learning opportunities. EFNARC contributes by providing a globally recognized training program for the construction industry. Our nozzle operator certification enhances skills, safety, and expertise, equipping professionals with the knowledge needed to meet industry demands.
Goal 9: Industry, Innovation, and Infrastructure
Sustainable infrastructure is crucial for economic development and human well-being. EFNARC promotes the use of sprayed concrete as a resilient and efficient construction method, ensuring that infrastructure projects are built to last while minimizing environmental impact.
Goal 11: Sustainable Cities and Communities
Sustainable urban development requires responsible construction practices. EFNARC supports this through specialized training and Focus Groups that advocate for environmentally friendly and efficient sprayed concrete applications, helping to create safer and more sustainable built environments.
Goal 12: Responsible Consumption and Production
This goal encourages sustainable resource use and waste reduction. EFNARC integrates sustainability into its training by utilizing a simulator for nozzle operator instruction, which significantly reduces the consumption of shotcrete during training. Additionally, well-trained operators minimize material waste (rebound), leading to more efficient resource use in construction projects.
Goal 17: Partnerships for the Goals
Global cooperation is essential to achieving sustainable development. EFNARC fosters strong international partnerships within the construction industry, bringing together professionals from around the world to share expertise, drive innovation, and enhance sustainable construction practices.
By integrating these sustainability principles into its initiatives, EFNARC plays a vital role in shaping a more responsible and resilient construction industry.
