Send a text.This is a trailer for the main podcast:The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, adopted by all United Nations Member States in 2015, provides a shared blueprint for peace and prosperity for people and the planet, now and into the future. At its heart are the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), Why does this matter?“The brands that have not yet caught on to this, and are not thinking about how they will embed environmental and social sustainability within their business model, will not be around in the next 50 years,” Chief Marketing Officer of Unilever Keith Weed wrote in The Guardian.Corporate Social Responsibility used to be soft side of a company's PR activities, but with climate change, COVID and social movements like Black Lives Matter, how a company behaves has become as important as what it sells. In this podcast I share information about the UN SDG's and where you can check your own company's credentials; SDGfunders.org was created by Candid (formally Foundation Center) as a part of SDG Philanthropy Platform initiative and was funded by the Conrad N. Hilton Foundation, Ford Foundation, and the MasterCard Foundation.Sustainability programs are good for business and good for publicity.
