With the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, the world’s leaders set out on an ambitious path to end poverty, fight inequality and injustice, and protect the planet. The 17 Sustainable Development Goals provide a coherent, holistic, integrated framework for addressing the world’s most urgent sustainability challenges, where businesses have an important role to play. In September, GRI and the UN Global Compact released a publication to aid progress towards the SDGs by helping businesses improve their reporting and performance on the SDGs.
It’s Earth Month and to celebrate, we’re reflecting on the progress we’ve made, the challenges we’ve faced and the road ahead.
