Established in 2015, the UN SDGs are 17 global goals designed to address current global challenges, including those related to climate change, social inequality and well-being, aiming to create a more sustainable future for all by 2030.
The 17 SDGs are integrated - that is, they recognise that action in one area will affect outcomes in others, and that development must balance social, economic and environmental sustainability.
ABOUT UN
SDGs
Note:
While not all 17 SDGs will be equally relevant for an organisation, the extent to which your organisation can contribute to each SDGs will depend on many factors. Nonetheless, GOal for SDGs will explore whether current business operations and practices match with the UN SDGs in a holistic view
