ABSTRACT

The 17 sustainable development goals (SDGs) are anticipated to generate over US$12 trillion worth of business opportunities by 2030, which makes thousands of small and large companies around the world well incentivized to work towards achieving the goals. But until now, the lack of a uniform methodology for business to measure and report on their contributions to the global goals had become a stumbling block. Developed by Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) and the United Nations Global Compact with support from Shift and PwC — and as part of the Action Platform on Reporting on the SDGs — the publication, Integrating the SDGs into Corporate Reporting: A Practical Guide 1 completes a toolkit that aims to boost and improve businesses’ reporting on the global goals and their efforts to achieve the 2030 agenda.
