Non-ProZ.com Apr 6, 2005: Thank you Sandra... you are right..
Sandra C. Apr 6, 2005: I think that se sont donn�s is right; c'est le verbe �tre en forme r�fl�chie, donc le participe pass� s'accorde avec le sujet "ils"
Non-ProZ.com Apr 6, 2005: Thank you Garry.. It's partly my monitor which is not so good... I have "se sont donne's" with an "s" at the end. "ce risque" Thanks

set themselves the goal of reducing

I think this works for the sentence. Note that the French sentence includes several errors, (perhaps simply typos on your part due to haste in posting this question): "se sont donne's" --> "se sont donné"; "cer risque" --> "ce risque"
