What exactly are the 17 SDGs and why do they matter to businesses?
When people hear “Sustainable Development Goals”, they often think of a list of 17 goals created by the United Nations.
But the SDGs are much more than a checklist! They cover some of the biggest challenges facing the world today ranging from poverty, hunger and inequality to climate change, biodiversity, responsible consumption and strong institutions.
Adopted by all UN Member States in 2015, the 17 SDGs provide a shared blueprint for building a more sustainable and inclusive world by 2030.
