Are you aligned with the UN Global Goals?

Now, it can be a little overwhelming when you start looking at your impact.

Where do you start? How can you embed change over so many different areas and do this quickly? A great place to start is by researching the UN Global Goals or sustainable goals.

In 2015, world leaders agreed to 17 Global Goals (officially known as the Sustainable Development Goals or SDGs). It's now five years on, and we have more work than ever to do. These goals have the power to create a better world by 2030, by ending poverty, fighting inequality and addressing the urgency of climate change. Guided by the goals, it is now up to all of us, governments, businesses, civil society and the general public to work together to build a better future for everyone.

The Global Goals simply cannot be achieved without businesses. Through their core operations, financial commitments, employee networks, consumer facing platforms and high-level influence, businesses can make a vital contribution to accelerating progress towards the Goals.

Every company and every employee has a role to play in creating a more peaceful and prosperous future for people and for planet.

THAT FUTURE IS EVERYBODY’S BUSINESS.

Whether you join the B1G1 or start your own scheme, donate a percentage of profits to a cause. 

Customers love the fact that a portion of their purchases goes to a worthy cause. You may find that, as word spreads, you end up with more customers during your donation periods than at any other time.

I am also mindful of responsible consumption and production, climate action and peace and justice, which guide our decision making. You too can make a positive impact by choosing one goal and seeing how you can lead a change.
