Siendo GPM Global un stakeholder valorado del Pacto Global de las Naciones Unidas, es un placer para mi compartirles lo más destacado del SDG Business Forum 2018.

El evento se celebró como parte del Foro Político de Alto Nivel sobre Desarrollo Sostenible en la Sede de las Naciones Unidas en Nueva York, la plataforma anual para examinar el progreso y guiar los esfuerzos mundiales para la Agenda 2030.

H.E Amina J. Mohammed, Deputy Secretary-General of the United Nations, encouraged businesses everywhere to commit. “As a fundamental first step on their sustainability journeys, we need companies to ensure they are doing business responsibly, in alignment with UN values and the Ten Principles of the UN Global Compact. An overall commitment to doing business responsibly is one of the most powerful contributions companies can make to the 2030 Agenda»

Lise Kingo, CEO & Executive Director of the United Nations Global Compact sent a strong message to business leaders to measure their progress. “We are 1,000 days in on the route to 2030. We have come to a moment where we need to manage and set direction. The time is now to get serious and begin to measure the improvements,”

While many of the world’s biggest companies are increasingly engaged with the 2030 Agenda, with only 12 years left to reach the Global Goals, the potential benefit of a critical mass of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) taking up the charge to make the Global Goals local business has never been more obvious.
