Don’t fall behind the times. Move forward, faster.
In today's uncertain global landscape, publicly committing to ambitious sustainability targets may appear daunting. However, failing to do so not only undermines accountability but also erodes trust with crucial stakeholders like customers and investors. Establishing goals that foster trust, stay ahead of evolving sustainability regulations, and meet changing market expectations is imperative.
That’s why the UN Global Compact launched Forward Faster, a global platform for credible, ambitious corporate action aimed at guiding companies on where they can make the biggest, fastest impact for 2030. Because right now, only 17% of the Sustainable Development Goals are on track for 2030.
