At the heart of “Agenda 2030” are the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) which clearly define the world we want — applying to all nations and leaving no one behind.
-The new Global Goals result from a process that has been more inclusive than ever, with Governments involving business, civil society and citizens from the outset.

Mutual Trust Bank Limited (MTB) recognizes that its activities impact the environment and the community in which it operates directly, through the operations of its buildings, IT systems and business travel and indirectly, through the business of its clients.
