In 2015, the United Nations (UN) proposed a new sustainable development agenda for its member states for the following 15 years: the 2030 Agenda, which comprises the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
This is a joint effort involving governments, companies, institutions, and civil society. The SDGs aim to ensure human rights, eradicate poverty, combat inequality and injustice, achieve gender equality, address climate change, promote the preservation of natural resources, and confront other major challenges of our time.
The private sector plays a fundamental role in this process as a major economic stakeholder, a driver of innovation and technology, and an influencer and engager of diverse audiences—including governments, suppliers, employees, and consumers.
