Through a multi-stakeholder process facilitated by the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), and as a contribution to the World Summit on Sustainable Development, 22 industry sectors have developed global sustainability reports. It is the first time that business and industry have formed a partnership with the United Nations in consultation with labor and non-governmental organizations to report on sector-specific progress in implementing Agenda 21 on a global scale. This publication provides an overview of the industry achievements and unfinished business in implementing Agenda 21, and identifies key gaps and stakeholder concerns, summarizes industry-specific challenges, goals and commitments, and provides recommendations on the way forward.

How do partnerships become more effective? How do good intentions and social vision transform into practical reality? Drawing on ten years of experience of tri-sector (governments, the private sector and the international community) partnership building, the authors of The Guiding Hand argue that the key to successful partnerships lies in the hands of the partnership "broker". The Guiding Hand explores the scope and potential of the broker's role, and identifies the skills and personal attributes that brokers need to be effective. It also includes a step-by-step "route map" to help partnership brokers identify suitable partners and nurture the partnership to maturity, as well as advice on how to appoint and supervise a broker.

This book provides a business-oriented analysis of the United Nations (UN) Sustainable Development Goals (SDG). In order to assess their impact on businesses and corporations, the book addresses all 17 goals and a broad range of industries. Gathering contributions from Africa, Europe and Asia, it presents both critical reviews and case studies. In turn, the book seeks to predict likely developments during the next decade. To do so, it examines evidence from today’s business world and how companies and corporations have been adopting the SDGs since their release. In this regard, it discusses the changes that will be required and how the agenda will affect the continent’s development path. An underlying theme throughout the book is the role of monetary value and investment for sustainable development: whether through financing, enhanced turnaround resulting from a more educated population, or more socially innovative entrepreneurs.

The United Nations is currently undergoing the most significant transformation since its founding in San Francisco in 1945, as it aims to become a more effective and accountable institution. The end of the Cold War and the ongoing process of globalization have fundamentally transformed the environment within which the world body operates. One component of this process has been the progressive opening of the Organization to non-governmental actors, including civil society and business. Partnerships with business and civil society are seen as vital to getting the job done. This report identifies four functions for partnerships: advocacy, developing norms and standards, sharing and coordinating resources and expertise and harnessing markets for development. Partnerships have allowed the United Nations to become increasingly creative and sophisticated in its attempts to leverage the skills and resources of business and civil society toward the goals of the organisation. They have become a catalyst for reform and institutional innovation across the entire United Nations system, but much remains to be done before the process of structural and cultural transformation is complete.

Companies that are not sustainable will soon be driven out of the market by their competitors who are becoming sustainable. And as the world faces momentous challenges, there is an accelerating urgency to create sustainable solutions. Every company, large and small, has the potential to make a significant contribution towards economic, social and environmental progress. Moreover, businesses have the power to accelerate the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals, and realizing the Goals will in turn also improve the ecosystem for doing business. Trillions of dollars in public and private funds are being redirected towards the SDGs, creating huge opportunities for responsible companies to deliver solutions. Engaging and innovating today means a stronger continuity for resilient business and industry in the future. And most importantly, becoming a sustainable business gives you a competitive advantage: ◆ It brings over US $12 trillion annually in new market opportunities. ◆ It increases your employees' engagement. ◆ It makes your brand more trustworthy to consumers. ◆ It enables you to access finance from impact investors. I have written this book to help purpose-driven business leaders and entrepreneurs learn about the United Nations SDGs and use it as a guide to make their businesses sustainable. As a bonus, I have included one chapter that helps you learn how to do business with the United Nations, a business opportunity of USD 17 billion annually. SDGs are the goals for making the world a better place for ourselves, for our children, and for future generations. All of us need to know what SDGs are about and what role we can play to accelerate the achievement of the Global Goals. Let's mobilize efforts to end all forms of poverty, fight inequalities and tackle climate change! About the Author Yama Mubtaker is the founder and CEO of Key To Excellence and Impact Ambassadors Global Network. He is a former United Nations (U.N) officer, entrepreneur, Sustainability Leader, and author.
