Sustainable Development Goals

Creating societal impact

At Kadaster, we contribute to certainty every day. So you know which land is yours, which rights you have and what those of someone else are. We do this in the Netherlands and abroad.

The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of the United Nations inspire us to make a difference. These are 17 goals for a more sustainable world in 2030. SDG 8 and 16 are the closest to our legal duties. But we also provide information that indirectly contributes to other sustainable development goals. Curious about what goals we contribute to?

Properly registered land

1. End poverty

In many countries, people have no certainty about their land rights. As a result, it is difficult for them to develop economically and they continue to live in poverty. A land registry helps fight poverty.

Ensure food security

2. Zero hunger

A national cadastre that is functional and sustainable. This is necessary to secure access to land and ensure food security. Especially for socially or economically disadvantaged groups.

Knowledge and innovation

4. Quality education

Knowledge and innovation have enabled land professionals from all over the world to develop the field of land administration. 

Geo-information for everyone

10. Reduce inequalities

Geographical information should be available to everyone. It is difficult to walk an unknown route all by yourself when you are blind. Tactile maps broaden the horizons of blind people.

Fit-for-purpose

16. Peace, justice and strong institutions

The Land in Peace project focuses on fast and efficient land administration in post-conflict areas in Colombia. Using the Fit-For-Purpose methodology.

International relations

17. Partnerships for the goals

We invest in international relations. We do so by contributing to international expert committees and federations. But also in projects, publications and educational programmes.
