Apply to become a United Nations Global Compact Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) Pioneer 2018

Facebook Twitter WhatsApp Pinterest LinkedIn Tumblr Email Telegram

Deadline: June 15, 2018

The search is on for the 2018 SDG Pioneers at the UN Global Compact. SDG Pioneers are individuals – working at any level in a company – who are doing an exceptional job of making global goals local business. Through their own company or by mobilizing other businesses, they are helping to reach one or more of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) while also contributing to business success.

The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) lay out a clear vision for a sustainable future and will shape a new era for business. As part of our Making Global Goals Local Business campaign, each year the UN Global Compact celebrates a group of SDG Pioneers — business leaders who are doing an exceptional job to advance the Global Goals through a principles-based approach.

Are you the next SDG Pioneer?

Benefits

The SDG Pioneers will be announced and celebrated at the Leaders Summit on 24 September 2018. The SDG Pioneers will receive visibility and be recognized for the great work that they have done to advance the Sustainable Development Goals.

They hope that all SDG Pioneers will be able to join them in New York for the Leaders Summit on 21 September 2017. There are no other formal obligations, but we hope that SDG Pioneers will continue to support and advocate for the SDGs.

Eligibility

  • Individuals who are working at any level of a UN Global Compact Participant or Signatory company are eligible to apply or be nominated. To check whether an organization is a UN Global Compact Participant or Signatory company, please search the participant list online.
