Earth Security in the news looking at 2017: The SDGs as the new political framework for business
In 2016 we anticipated that global companies will be exposed to greater public scrutiny due to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). We predict that global companies, many of which have mastered management targets such as carbon or water efficiency, will be mostly pressured by social factors, rising inequality and the quality of access to resources and services. These will require a more nuanced political engagement from business on societal interests.
