>
> Between 2000 and 2015, the Millennium Development Goals were powerful
> tools in setting the development agenda for nations, municipalities,
> companies and their stakeholders. They set time-bound quantifiable targets
> addressing the various aspects of extreme poverty, gender equality,
> education and environmental sustainability. In the last 15 years, the
> world has taken major strides towards achieving many of these goals,
> notably by helping to lift more than one billion people out of extreme
> poverty, reducing hunger, enabling more girls to attend school than ever
> before and to protect our planet. While there is still progress to be made,
> they were effective in generating new and innovative partnerships,
> galvanizing public opinion and showing the immense value of setting
> ambitious goals and measuring progress toward achieving them.
>
> They also provided strong leadership for business. The MDGs helped shape
> systems of sustainability reporting and accountability, such as the GRI
> framework; they have focused more attention on developing KPIs for
> sustainability, on ESG metrics, and on moving corporate valuation away from
> simple short term financial quarterly reports and towards a broader look at
> social value and environmental risks.
>
> As we embark on the post-2015 development agenda, the newly launched
> Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) will set the agenda for global action
> for the next fifteen years. The SDGs cover a broadened range of
> sustainable development topics with 17 goals and 169 specific targets.
> They expand on the 8 previous goals (poverty and hunger, education, gender
> equality, maternal health, child mortality, HIV-AIDS, environmental
> sustainability, global partnership) and incorporate new goals and targets
> related to sustainable energy, economic growth and employment, resilient
> infrastructure, inequality, improvement of cities and settlements,
> sustainable consumption and production, climate change, sustainability of
> the seas and ecosystems, and a promotion of peaceful, inclusive societies.
>
> This discussion will address what the new SDGs mean for the business
> community, seeking to answer:
>
>
> - How will the SDGs push the sustainability agenda forward, involving
> companies as partners?
> - What are resources for companies seeking to align their corporate
> responsibility goals with the SDGs?
> - What impact will they have on the development of legislation or
> incentives affecting companies?
