AMCO is making significant progress on its commitment to the United Nations’ 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). We are actively working towards a better future in all 17 areas outlined by the UN. Our efforts encompass a wide range of initiatives:
GOAL 1: NO POVERTY
AMCO is Partnering with Hope 4, a charity dedicated to supporting orphans in and around Ukraine. We are actively working together to alleviate poverty and provide a glimmer of hope for those in need.
