The 17 UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) sit at the heart of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. Adopted by all United Nations Member States in 2015, the SDGs provide the blueprint for a more sustainable future by tackling some of the biggest and most urgent global challenges we face, such as poverty, inequality, climate change and
environmental degradation.

The Sustainable Development Goal Disclosure (SDGD) Recommendations support the identification of material sustainable development risks and opportunities relevant to long-term value creation for organisations and society; changing what an organisation does and how it does it in order to contribute to the achievement of the SDGs; and the communication of implications for and impact on achievement of the SDGs.
