Why Tackle the SDGs?

Heightened attention on the broader impact of organizations has increased global sustainable investment to over $35 trillion [1]. An ESG strategy that supports SDGs can yield higher value creation for society and environment — an attractive business model in an increasingly conscientious market.

How to Support the SDGs?

ESG strategies that enable cross-sector collaboration are key accelerators of the 2030 Agenda: Value-creation relationships unlock your organization’s full innovation potential, leading to new technologies and approaches that fundamentally reduce the cost of SDG-aligned solutions and the timeline for delivering them. This is why SDG 17: Partnerships for the Goals, is the top supported SDG across global companies [2] after SDG 9.
