SDG Dialogue: Global Companies & the 2030 Agenda

Given the recent drastic social and political change in the international community, including the US and Europe, conventional capitalism is being challenged, and the roles played by global companies in society are rapidly evolving and expanding. This SDG Dialogue event will explore how global companies can contribute to mainstreaming the SDGs. Speakers and participants will exchange views and experiences, considering new modes of corporate management in the context of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. The event will discuss key questions such as:

• How can global companies integrate social and environmental agendas into corporate management — not only from a corporate social responsibility perspective, but in order to maintain competitiveness in the face of a global paradigm shift?
• How can environmental, social, and governance (ESG) investment criteria be linked to the 2030 Agenda?

 
The event will be co-organized by United Nations University Institute for the Advanced Study of Sustainability(UNU-IAS) and the Sustainable Development Solutions Network Japan (SDSN Japan), with the support of the Global Environmental Outreach Centre (GEOC), Nikkei Inc., the Global Compact Network Japan, and CDP.

Simultaneous interpretation will be available in Japanese and English.
