Held yesterday at UN headquarters in New York, the SDG Business Forum – co-hosted by the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC), the United Nations (UN) Department of Economic and Social Affairs (UN-DESA) and the UN Global Compact – took place during the UN’s High Level Political Forum and marked a first milestone for gauging business efforts during the first year of SDG implementation.
Opening yesterday’s Forum, ICC Secretary General John Danilovich said: “We are seeing real leadership from many companies-large and small- in incorporating sustainability into their core business operations…and throughout their supply chains.”
Here are 17 great examples of businesses taking action in support of the global goals.
