Take the Next Step Now that SDGs are Officially Adopted
On Friday, all 193 Member States of the United
Nations adopted a plan for achieving a better future for all – laying out a
path over the next 15 years to end extreme poverty, fight inequality and
injustice, and protect our planet. At the heart of “Agenda 2030” are the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) that address the
most important economic, social, environmental and governance challenges of
our time.
Now that all of us have agreed on where we want the world to go, it’s
time for your company to play your part in helping to make the SDGs a
reality. Operating in line with universal principles is the first step.
Then, there is a world of opportunity once your company has taken care of
basic responsibilities.
The SDGs provide a clear, common aspiration that all companies can
mobilize around – allowing business to align their own sustainability goals
with goals for the broader society. With trillions of dollars in public and
private investments expected to redirect towards achieving the SDGs, there
is an enormous opportunity for responsible companies in the coming years.
