To transform the economy and lead the way for a fairer society, we need to scale up and accelerate business action on the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) to drive real change.
The Sustainable Development Goals are 17 Global Goals set by the United Nations General Assembly in 2015, to be achieved by 2030. They are a unique opportunity for all sectors to rally around a common global agenda to end poverty, protect the planet, and ensure that all stakeholders enjoy shared and durable prosperity. Today, we are not on track to achieve these goals. Businesses must play an increasingly impactful role and deliver on these important commitments.
It’s essential these goals are reached by 2030 and businesses will play a powerful role in helping humanity get there.
The SDG Action Manager helps your company find its starting point with the baseline module. You will learn your company’s current impact, and be able to set goals to track improvement. The multi-user function allows you to collaborate with your colleagues across your company.
