UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)

Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) were adopted unanimously by the UN member states as a part of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development at a UN summit in September 2015. The SDGs with 17 goals and 169 subtargets cover interconnected issues in the areas of social, economic, and environmental sustainability. The SDGs create expectations to act primarily for states, but they are also among the important international guidelines and principles for corporate sustainability.
