SVP CEO, Helen Steel, presented at the Senate Inquiry into UN SDG on Monday 29 October on the potential of businesses, with the support of government, to make a significant impact on the SDG using shared value.
The SDG provide the mechanism to focus and coordinate the organisation’s shared value activities towards a set of common and collective goals. Shared value has the potential to support several, if not all the SDG, either directly or indirectly. Further, as shared value can be created through different business functions, from supply chain management to R&D to community engagement and product development, there are multiple modalities through which it can enable impact.
