The SDGs are a UN-backed, globally agreed sustainability framework, but despite this different actors are approaching the targets, the indicators and general disclosure in disparate ways.
This webinar will look at:
- The use-case for companies on the SDGs
- How investors view the SDGs
- The gap between the goals of the SDGs and corporate/investor needs: the need for a common language.
- The importance of the 169 sub-targets?
- The rigour around SDGs in assessing sustainability impact
- What does all this mean for SDG progress to 2030?
