The UN’s Global Goals aim to end poverty, protect the planet, and ensure prosperity for everyone by 2030.
The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) outline the numerous challenges that must be addressed to achieve equitable global prosperity and provide a powerful framework for businesses to align strategies, business activities, and engagement in corporate social responsibility.
This would translate into a positive impact on people, the planet, and prosperity and peace for all.
