Universality and the SDGs: A Business Perspective

This report prepared by the SDG Fund in collaboration with its Private Sector Advisory Group and the Global Compact highlights varied perspectives from both large and small companies working to understand the commonality of the new development agenda.

This report is based on interviews and input from private sector leaders through workshops in Africa, Latin America, Europe and the United States, with more than 100 firms representing various regions and industry sectors. The year-long series of workshops and interactive discussions provided valuable insight in to how companies were working to address the new set of goals. It also suggests many firms are working in the areas of SDGs, yet their work is not always linked to the goals or articulated as such.
