institution, and 8 Decent work and economic growth. Again, we must emphasise that the results of Africa are affected by low number of companies involved in this study.

Figure 3: Zoomed GAIA plane

Source: Own elaboration. Let us now focus on comparison of European companies with companies doing their business in other continents. The GAIA action profile (see Figure 4) of Europe is used for this purpose. The action profile stems from the GAIA plane, but displays also the values of unicriterion net flows of the alternative ( π j ( A i )). The action profile uses the bar chart where values above the axis mean that this flow is positive, and thus the alternative performs better in general than the others in terms of this criterion, and vice versa. Considering our problem, companies in Europe tend to follow the SDGs above the axis more often than the others, and vice versa. Compared to all other continents, the European companies more often help to achieve the following SDGs: 12 Responsible consumption and production, 10 Reduced inequalities, 9 Industry, innovation and infrastructure, and 11 Sustainable cities and communities. On the contrary, they are not interested in the following SDGs: 1 No poverty, 8 Decent work and economic growth, 15 Life on land a 6 Clean water and sanitation.
