Abstract

The Sustainable Development GoalsSustainable Development Goals (‘SDGs’ or ‘Global Goals’) were adopted by the international community in 2015 as a universal, integrated and transformative set of ambitions designed to address 17 key interlinked challenges facing people and the planet. Despite some positive intentions and encouraging efforts on the part of business and other key actors to contribute positively towards their realisation, there has only been to date some slow progress in the critical implementation phase. The very nature and ambition of the SDGsSustainable Development Goals requires new ways of thinking and acting, with systems and multi-stakeholder collaborationCollaboration approaches representing key success factors. The acceleration of the positive transformation process on multiple and simultaneous fronts can only happen through a meaningful engagement of business, working in close partnerships with a wider circle of stakeholders and rethinking its own purposePurpose and contribution to human progress.
