SDG Action Manager

To transform the economy and pave the way to a fairer society, we need to strengthen and accelerate corporate action on the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) to create real change.

Role of businesses in achieving the SDGs

The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are 17 global objectives established by the United Nations General Assembly in 2015 to be achieved by 2030. They offer a unique opportunity for all sectors to unite around a shared global agenda to end poverty, protect the planet, and ensure that everyone enjoys shared and lasting prosperity. Today, we are not on track to achieve these goals. Businesses must play an increasingly impactful role and fulfill these critical commitments. Achieving these goals by 2030 is essential, and businesses will play a strong role in helping humanity reach this milestone.

The SDG Action Manager

The SDG Action Manager helps your business find a starting point with its basic module. You can assess your company’s current impact and set goals to track improvements. The multi-user feature enables collaboration with colleagues within your organization.
