In 2015, 193 world leaders developed and adopted the 17 United Nations Sustainable Development Goals with the aim of tackling poverty, inequality, and climate change by 2030.
These 17 goals, which are also known as the Global Goals or SDGs, are highly ambitious. To help businesses achieve their goal targets, each SDG has a blueprint for how to achieve a better and more sustainable future, addressing the global challenges we all face
