This webinar series will leverage the SDG Business Benchmarks developed by the UN Global Compact, which translate the most business-relevant SDGs into concrete aspirations and strategies for companies. These sessions will deep-dive into the SDG Benchmarks and enable our participants to:

- Define roadmaps using newly launched tools to enable business transformation
- Discover the latest approaches in delivering comparable, quantifiable, and impactful data
- Take practical action - for companies of all sizes and sectors
- Secure senior management buy-in
- Attract sustainable financing.
Business risks are evolving at a more rapid rate than ever as the world experiences extreme levels of disruption in the forms of climate, health, economic, and social justice crises. Business risks stemming from each of these crises are increasingly inter-related and must be addressed via an integrated approach, only then can companies effectively build resilience and thrive.
