SDG Roadshow 2024

SDG Wheel_Transparent_WEB

Increased expectations from investors, regulators, employees, and customers have put significant pressure on companies to set and achieve ambitious corporate goals which are in line with the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). To tackle complex sustainability challenges, build business resilience, maintain short-term profits, and enable long-term growth, businesses must take meaningful action.

To help businesses on this journey, our SDG Roadshow returned to key cities across the UK, offering a deep dive into the SDGs. Through interactive workshops and high-level roundtables, these events explored local actions for advancing the Goals, how companies could build internal buy-in to embed the SDGs across core business functions and foster regional partnerships between sustainability professionals.
