SDG Roadshow - Manchester
2026-09-23
Across the UK, businesses are under pressure to respond to the social and environmental challenges playing out in the communities where they operate. The UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) remain a clear and widely recognised framework for action, but with 2030 fast approaching, expectations have shifted towards measurable, place-based impact. Done well, embedding the SDGs at a regional level can strengthen supply chains, unlock investment, and build trust with communities and policymakers.
Delivering on the Goals will depend on practical collaboration between business, finance, government, and civil society, particularly in the regions where national ambition becomes lived reality. In 2026, the SDG Roadshow will bring that collaboration to key business hubs across the UK. Each one-day event will be shaped by regional priorities, connecting global SDG ambition to local risks, opportunities, and investment decisions.
The Roadshow will offer practical insight, targeted networking, and partnership opportunities, equipping businesses to integrate the SDGs into core strategy and accelerate impact where it matters most.
