The United Nations’ 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development shows how businesses can have a positive impact on society and the environment. With operations that stretch across continents and employ thousands of factories and farms, businesses can improve the lives of millions of workers and the health of the planet – but only when social and environmental performance goals are integrated throughout international supply chains.
