How can you make this a reality? One way is by integrating the United Nation\u2019s SDGs into your company strategy. What does SDG stand for? Sustainable Development Goals.    <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This blog will explain how you and team members at your organization can work together to achieve these goals to benefit your business through greater opportunities. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Keep reading to uncover: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>What are the sustainable development goals? <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>How many sustainable development goals are there? <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Why does this matter for your organization? <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>3 ways your organization can contribute <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-large-font-size\">What are the sustainable development goals?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Let\u2019s start at the very beginning. In 2015, the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) were adopted by the United Nations as part of the <g id=\"gid_0\">2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development<\/g>. The objective of these goals is to help make the world a brighter place for humanity and future generations.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>193 countries have committed to achieving these goals by doing what they can to carry out actions to end poverty and hunger, provide quality education and access to clean water, fight climate change, and much more by the year 2030. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is not the responsibility of just one country, but of many coming together as a unit to truly make a difference across the globe. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-large-font-size\">How many sustainable development goals are there?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In total, there are <a href=\"https:\/\/sdgs.un.org\/goals\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">17 sustainable development goals, 169 targets, as well as 7,777 actions<\/a>. Each of these universal goals and targets was carefully chosen as these are the current challenges plaguing our world today.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Take a look at all 17 goals below: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ecoonline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/undefined-Nov-22-2023-09-14-10-1171-PM-4.webp\" alt=\"undefined-Nov-22-2023-09-14-10-1171-PM.png?width=1176&amp;amp;height=715&amp;amp;name=undefined-Nov-22-2023-09-14-10-1171-PM.png\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s important to note that each goal does not exist in a vacuum, as initiatives towards one will have an effect on others. That\u2019s why it\u2019s so important to think of the SDGs as interconnected, as we will not be able to truly make a positive change in the world without accomplishing all 17 goals.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-large-font-size\">Why does this matter for your organization?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>So how do business and sustainable development goals connect? The private sector in each of these 193 counties plays an important role in helping to achieve these 169 targets and 17 goals. For instance, businesses can do their part to carry out sustainable consumption and production initiatives, while protecting the environment and surrounding ecosystems. This contributes to both goals 12 and 15 respectively. No matter the size of your business or the industry you work in, your organization can make a difference.     <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Not only will your organization be doing its part to help tackle these universal challenges, but it could also benefit your business. According to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.undp.org\/sdg-accelerator\/business-and-sdgs\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Business and Sustainable Development Commission<\/a>, $12 trillion worth of market opportunities could result from accomplishing the United Nation\u2019s SDGs by 2030.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It could also benefit your organization by staying ahead of any risk which the sustainability development goals address. Climate change or global instability, for instance, could affect your supply chain which could ultimately affect the productivity and stability of your business. For example, let\u2019s say that you are working in a company which sources some vital parts for your product from an area which has just experienced a hurricane. You will not be able to receive these parts for some time, depending on how much damage the supplier faced. Helping to do your part to help reduce climate change, for instance, will make these risky events less likely.     <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ecoonline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Pillar20520-20ESG20Reporting20-20Image20-20SDGs20blog-4.webp\" alt=\"Pillar%205%20-%20ESG%20Reporting%20-%20Image%20-%20SDGs%20blog.jpg?width=1200&amp;height=800&amp;name=Pillar%205%20-%20ESG%20Reporting%20-%20Image%20-%20SDGs%20blog.jpg\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Keeping your investors happy and attracting others to your business is another benefit businesses may experience. In fact, <g id=\"gid_0\">ESG-mandated assets<\/g> amounting to $35 trillion (this equates to more than the GDP of the entire United States\/European Union!), could account for 50% of investments managed professionally by 2025. This is because investors tend to see higher returns with companies who have a strong sustainability record, as they are less risky and tend to think long term.   <br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><a href=\"https:\/\/insights.ecoonline.com\/nam\/guides\/ghg-reporting-how-to-keep-your-investors-and-the-environment-happy\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ecoonline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/65a46220-b26d-4566-bff5-0994039927c9-13.webp\" alt=\"65a46220-b26d-4566-bff5-0994039927c9.png\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The bottom line? Doing what you can to help achieve these goals is a win-win on all sides.  Ready to get started? <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-large-font-size\">3 ways your organization can contribute to achieving the SDGs<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>With 2030 fast approaching, there are several ways your organization can contribute to the UN sustainability development goals. If you are located in California, for instance, you may have heard about the two climate disclosure bills, <g id=\"gid_0\">SB 253 the Climate Corporate Data Accountability Act and SB 261, Greenhouse gases: climate-related financial risk<\/g>, which were recently signed. This places a greater focus on businesses submitting sustainability reporting which contributes to goal 13.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The following are three actions your business can take right now: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. Establish your goals<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The first thing you need to do is establish your organization\u2019s goals. Focus on one or two goals that you believe you can implement initiatives towards and dedicate yourself to. Examples of this could be completing sustainability reporting in the form of GHG emissions or carbon accounting (goal 13), and\/or providing employment and business opportunities to those in your region (goal 8).   <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Measure your progress<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Next, you must be able to measure and analyze your progress to achieving the goals you set in the first step. This is necessary to help achieve your targets and show transparency to investors or external members who may be looking at your metrics. If you are working towards goal 13 on climate action for instance, one way you can do this is through sustainability reporting by submitting your greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions reports or carbon reports (more on this later!).  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Work with others<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Another step your business can take right now is by working with other businesses in your area. This can help amplify the positive metrics towards achieving these goals. Consider working with customers, investors, suppliers, governmental or regional bodies that are working towards achieving the same SDGs you are. Not only will this help bring awareness to others of the sustainability development goals and what they are, but it will also help increase the chances that the country you are in plays its part in achieving these 17 goals.    <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Ready to take the first step towards sustainability reporting?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>With ESG and sustainability global initiatives and mandatory compliance on the rise, we can help you work towards achieving goal 13. Our new eBook, GHG Reporting: How to Keep Your Investors and the Environment Happy, covers what greenhouse gases are, who needs to submit these reports as well the benefits of doing so.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We also outline guidance on how to complete these reports and provide tips for a successful approach from our very own head of sustainability!
