European Private Sector SDG Stock Take 2024

The UN Global Compact Network UK has partnered with nine other United Nations Global Compact European Country networks to assess how companies across the continent are integrating the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) into their operations. With Europe experiencing rapid growth in regulatory frameworks surrounding sustainability, this comprehensive study provides valuable insights into the actions and progress of European businesses.

The study brings together data from 1,422 companies across France, Spain, the United Kingdom, Italy, Switzerland & Liechtenstein, Turkey, Greece, Serbia, Bulgaria, and Ireland. More than measuring knowledge and communication on the SDGs, the study focuses on concrete actions and impact measurement, with reference to the Forward Faster initiative.
