The 17 SDGs (sometimes called ‘The GlobalGoals’) is a collection of independent but interconnected goals carefully designed to give all of us on our planet a better future, with hundreds of targets and measurement indicators geared toward a date of 2030. The goals were created with businesses in mind, providing a path – often referred to as a “Pathway for Humanity” — for any business to harness their power by directing their efforts toward specific global objectives.
The goals are simple, yet focused and powerful, ranging from ending poverty to building sustainable cities. Any individual can find something on the diverse list of Sustainable Development Goals which they can work towards. Small and medium-sized businesses, however, are uniquely positioned to make significant impacts on the SDG targets.
