The Road to 2030: Aligning Corporate Ambitions with What the World Needs

The next 10 years will be pivotal for ensuring a sustainable and equitable future for the global community. In this short time, we’re challenged to deliver on broad-sweeping agendas put forth by national governments and multilateral bodies, including the U.N. Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the Paris agreement on climate change.  But government and civil society cannot go it alone — they need engagement from business in order to make these visions a reality. Over 90 percent of citizens think it’s important for the private sector to support the SDGs, and U.N. data indicates that government commitments fall far short of what’s needed to realize the goals of the Paris agreement, making it all the more important for business to step in and close the gap. In this series sponsored by Kimberly-Clark Corporation, we’ll discuss how companies can go beyond what’s viewed as easily attainable and align their social and environmental ambitions with what the world truly needs.
