In September 2015, world leaders adopted the Sustainable Development Goals(SDGs) and
committed to 17 goals to eradicate poverty, promote peace and equality, fuel
inclusive growth, and protect the environment.
The SDGs present a historic
opportunity for companies to deepen their engagement as a strong and positive
influence on society, by better connecting business strategy with global
priorities.
The benefits go both ways.
For business, embracing the SDGs is also a growth opportunity that opens new
markets, drives innovation and contributes to the global effort to build
resilient, inclusive economies and societies.
Companies can use the SDGs
as an overarching framework to shape, steer, communicate and report on their
strategies, goals and activities. These pages will help show you how.
The SDG Hub brings together
the voice of forward-thinking business on the goals. It is a one-stop-shop where companies can:
- Learn about the programs and tools which are available to assist them in connecting with the SDGs.
- Keep up to date on the latest developments and what they mean for business.
- Access case studies from companies that are establishing themselves as leaders in this field and submit their own activities as examples of best practice.
- Benefit from a directory of the latest advocacy messages and leading insight into the opportunities and responsibilities for business in this field.
