There is an urgent call for action by all countries to adopt their national plans and strategies for the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.
The United Nations Sustainable Development Report of 2023 stated that “Progress on more than 50% of targets of the sustainable development goals (SDGs) is weak and insufficient; 30% of the targets are stalled and gone in reverse.
They include key targets on poverty, hunger, and climate. Collaborative partnerships between governments and businesses are required to achieve the SDGs.
It is against this background that more businesses are under increasing pressure to act responsibly and sustainably while making a profit.
Organisations need to assess how their decisions affect people, as their long-term success can be attributed to the trust and mutually beneficial relationships fostered by a collaborative governance framework.
