With growing expectations from investors, regulators, employees, and customers, companies are under increasing pressure to set and deliver ambitious corporate goals aligned with the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). To address complex sustainability challenges, build resilience, maintain short-term performance, and enable long-term growth, businesses must take meaningful action.
To support this journey, our 2025 SDG Roadshow visited key cities across the UK to take a deep dive into the SDGs. Through interactive workshops and high-level roundtables, the events explored how businesses can drive local action on the Goals, build internal buy-in to embed the SDGs across core functions, and foster regional partnerships among sustainability professionals. The SDG Roadshow was delivered in partnership with DWF, a leading global provider of integrated legal and business services.

Highlights from SDG Roadshow 2024
In 2024, we successfully brought the SDG Roadshow to Belfast, Cardiff, Edinburgh, and Manchester. The event series convened business leaders and sustainability professionals to explore how to define priorities, set ambitious goals, and embed the SDGs into core business strategies. Through focused sessions, participants examined effective methods for measuring progress, building cross-sector collaboration, and strengthening regional networks. Discussions also centred on identifying key SDGs, influencing stakeholders, and gaining leadership support to advance meaningful, long-term impact.
