Integrating the UN Sustainable Development Goals

Published in early 2016, the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) continue to expand as a catalyst and framework for companies setting sustainability goals and publishing corporate social responsibility (CSR) reports.

If your company is in the process of setting corporate social responsibility strategies, it is important to ensure they are relevant. Aligning corporate objectives with other well-established global and local initiatives, such as the SDGs, is a great place to start. Utilizing the SDG goals and their associated targets in developing CSR reports adds value, integrity, transparency, and reliability to the report.

While the number of companies aligning to the SDGs continues to grow, there is significant opportunity for businesses to increase their familiarity and incorporate these global initiatives into their own operations. Companies are essential to a sustainable future and can be powerful drivers of change through innovative approaches to the world’s development challenges. Organizations that heed the call for improved efficiency and resiliency are in the best position to prosper in a low-carbon and resource-constrained economy, and operating sustainably is essential for a company’s success.

We are well positioned to assist our clients in meeting many of the UN Sustainable Development goals through our work in sustainability consulting, safer chemistry, responsible textiles and product quality and safety, as well as through innovative tools such as our TraQtion software and EyeSucceed technology.
