The organization commits to employing young people from the rural and urban areas, training them and providing them with formal employment opportunities. The company also ensures long-term value creation for the local environment and economy. The sanitation value chain contributes to improved sanitation, hygiene and public health, and to preserve the environment with innovative waste treatment systems.

Decent Jobs for Youth was launched in 2016 as a UN system-wide effort, focusing on the youth employment challenge that is central to the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. It has emerged as a global, multi-stakeholder initiative that brings together governments, social partners, the private sector, youth and civil society organizations, and others.
