Are you advancing the UN Sustainable Development Goals in your business or know someone who is? Then apply or nominate someone for the 2022 Sustainable Development Goals Pioneers Program.
Each year the United Nations Global Compact celebrates a group of SDG Pioneers — business leaders who are doing an exceptional job to advance the Global Goals through the implementation of our Ten Principles on human rights, labor, environment, and anti-corruption.
The Sustainable Development Goals lay out a clear vision for a sustainable future, representing an opportunity to shape a new era for responsible business.
The 2022 Sustainable Development Goals Pioneers Program encourages professionals that are working at any level of a UN Global Compact participating company that is leveraging a principles-based approach to set ambitious, scalable, and impactful SDG targets to apply.
