Making Global Goals Local Business

24th April 2017

Sustainable Development Goals UK Roadshow The Global Goals are going to transform our world and that transformation will create opportunities for new business models to deliver new products and services into new markets.

After the largest public consultation ever undertaken, the Goals were adopted by the UK and the other 192 Member States of the United Nations in 2015. They call for economic growth, innovation, affordable energy, and upgraded infrastructure - and provide a path to end extreme poverty, fight inequality, and protect the planet. Every company (and every citizen) needs to understand this important global mega-trend! By attending a Making Global Goals Local Business event you will learn: What the Global Goals are; Why business should care about the Goals; and How business can effectively contribute to achieving the Goals, and benefit from doing so. Making Global Goals Local Business events will feature local business people speaking about how they are already aligning their activities and strategies with the Goals.
