THE GLOBAL GOALS ARE IN BUSINESS
In the face of multiple systemic, interconnected crises, the solutions require ALL OF US to play our part.
The Global Goals simply cannot be achieved without businesses. Through their core operations, financial commitments, employee networks, consumer-facing platforms and high-level influence, companies have a crucial role to play in accelerating progress towards the Goals.
Every business and every employee can make a vital contribution to creating a more peaceful, equitable and prosperous future.
