Everyone talks about the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) but does anyone know what they actually mean or how they work?
Here are six things to consider when working with the SDGs, based on reflections from an industry workshop featuring Alison Howard, head of sustainability at New Zealand power firm Meridian Energy; Lisa Martin, general manager of sustainability at seafood company Sanford; Kate Alcock, climate and resources manager for the Sustainable Business Council; and Barbara Nebel, managing director of consultancy thinkstep in Australasia. The spirit of these reflections is inspired by what’s happening in New Zealand, but the “lessons” apply equally as well to businesses in other countries.
