Human Rights & SDGs
Why is it important to align business activities with international human rights standards?
How to contribute to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)?
In a globalised world, economic activities are cross-sectorial, intertwined and have a direct impact on the living conditions and the rights of people all over the globe. The human rights references in the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of the UN 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development confirms this impact.
The UN has set forth a collection of Sustainable Development Goals (referred to as SDGs) with the goal of providing “a shared blueprint for peace and prosperity for people and the planet, now and into the future” *. Understanding the connection of all SDGs to human rights and how they impact your organisation’s operations are critical to your own sustainable success.
