The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) were adopted by the United Nations in 2015 as a universal call to action to end poverty, protect the planet, and ensure that by 2030 all people enjoy peace and prosperity. There are 17 SDGs covering topics from climate, water and food crises, to poverty, conflict and inequality. As well as guiding policy and funding decisions for governments, companies can use the SDGs to inform and shape their corporate strategies and take action to achieve a better and more sustainable future for all.
