UN Global Goals achieved:
Partnerships for the Goals
Balance Pan-Asian Grille has purchased Great Greens as a subsidiary to create Balance Farms. Great Greens is a small aquaponics farm that was also founded in Toledo. Balance Grille and Great Greens had been working together for years and created a strong relationship. Great Greens brings expertise to growing organic produce, along with having an established customer list of their own. The merging of the two companies has helped Balance Grille gain the information and technology needed to create a large aquaponics farm next to their downtown location. Once construction is finished, Balance Farms will be providing all of the Balance Grille locations with fresh local produce.
Good Health and Well-Being
By providing healthy and organic meals to the Toledo area, Balance Farms will sell their fresh produce and mircogreens to multiple restaurants in the area, not just Balance Grille. This gives Toledo residents more options to find food that is good for them at a variety of restaurants in the area.
Decent Work and Economical Growth
By creating their aquaponics farm in Toledo, Balance Farms is creating more jobs for the city. They do not have to source most of their produce, and the money they are spending is in the Toledo area.
Sustainable Cities and Communities
Balance Farms strives to stick to the true meaning of "buying local" by establishing aquaponics farms in cities like Toledo. Ohio primarily only grows mass amounts of soybeans, wheat, and corn. This restricts companies like Balance Grille from being able to source most of their products locally. Aquaponics technology allows them to grow many different ingredients that the Ohio climate normally would not be able to sustain. Because Balance Grille would like to open a Balance Farm in each city they enter, this technology could also potentially solve food deserts across the country.
The pure cycling process, as Pure Waste has named the innovation, uses textile waste, an otherwise valueless material, and recycles it into new sustainable textile products. As Pure Waste aims to recreate the fashion industry that is the second most polluting industry in the world, the issue that Pure Waste is addressing is extremely diverse. Thus, many of the UN SDGs have been in the core of Pure Waste’s operations since the beginning, the most important being SDGs 6, 9 and 12.

Innovation can be defined simply as a "new idea, device or method". However, innovation is often also viewed by some as the application of better solutions that meet new requirements, unarticulated needs, or existing market needs. Such innovation takes place through the provision of more-effective products, processes, services, technologies, or business models that are made available to markets, governments, and society. For Cybercom, Innovation Zone is the most important department for innovation within the company. This zone engages employees, clients, and other partners that have ideas, develop prototypes and run pilot products in order to accomplish as much as possible.

As Ricardo said " Our responsibility business plan, which is the roadmap of the sustainability strategy of the company is composed by 6 commitments and the first of these 6 commitments is the one of being reliable and reachable for everyone. Within that, we realized that one of the challenges that we didn’t have as a company was people with disabilities, how to actually be reachable as a company. So we started to think how were we serving our disabled population and we started a plan to adjust all our customer service channels to make them accessible to people with visual disability and people with hearing disability."
