The Event

What are the UN’s sustainable development goals? Why should I care?

SDGs for short, these are goals setup by United Nations to engage at a global level the largest issues we face today and represent a long-term framework on which to base your future business direction. Locally, SDGs will eventually seep into legislation so being ahead of the game isn’t the only benefit, they will help focus on improving sustainability, benefiting the environment, enhancing employee relations, and fulfilling community engagement, etc.

So what’s happening?
