Sustainable Development Goals
In 2015, the United Nations launched 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) for all member countries to aim to reach by 2030.
Through our joint work within the International Coalition for Working Equids (ICWE), we are directly linking a healthy working equid’s contribution to the welfare of the 600 million people who rely on them.
It is estimated that 112 million working equids (horses, ponies, donkeys and mules) work tirelessly to support families and communities by transporting goods, firewood, rubbish and materials, as well as water and of course, people. The usually invisible working equid is integral in the prosperity of humans and brings great value to the world’s economy.

Our promise.
We believe that systemic policy changes create lasting impacts. Together, we therefore commit today to ensuring animal welfare is recognised as a cornerstone of the sustainable development agenda. By working with international organisations, governments, corporations, and communities, we will pave the way for a sustainable and equitable world where the care of animals is inherent to our thriving.
Together, we are not just envisioning a future – we are actively creating one where the welfare of all living beings is our measure of progress.
