Action on the Sustainable Development Goals is needed now more than ever. Achieving the SDGs will take an unprecedented effort by all sectors in society. As a blueprint for a more sustainable and inclusive future, the Goals represent a compelling growth strategy for business, an opportunity to build back better from the Covid-19 pandemic, and a chance for companies to lead the way in fighting inequalities, ending extreme poverty, and protecting our planet.
In this four-part webinar series, the UN Global Compact Network UK and a diverse group of expert guest speakers will provide the insight, tools, and practical guidance for developing a strategic and integrated approach to the SDGs. This series was supported by RELX.
