Diagram of the Sustainable Development Goals — The UN’s 17 Sustainable Development Goals

What are the Sustainable Development Goals?

The SDGs, agreed by all UN Member States in 2015, is a set of 17 universal goals aimed at achieving significant social, economic, and environmental change by 2030. They provide a global blueprint to end poverty, protect our planet and ensure prosperity, guided by the premise that no-one should be left behind.

Behind each goal is a series of targets to work towards and indicators available to measure progress.

Why I want to work with clients who align with the Sustainable Development Goals.

Because it means my work is helping to increase important social, environmental, and economic change.

The Sustainable Development Goals are a blueprint for creating a better future.
