Sustainable Development Goals
The SDGs explained
The Sustainable Development Goals are 17 global targets set by the United Nations in 2015 to address challenges like poverty, inequality, and climate change by 2030. They offer a shared framework for governments, businesses, and communities to work towards a more sustainable world. Businesses can use the SDGs as a roadmap to align their strategies, set measurable goals, and drive positive impact. By integrating the SDGs into their operations, companies can create value, foster innovation, and contribute to global progress while enhancing their long-term success.
