The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) provide worldwide guidance for addressing global challenges. They show that the changes resulting from global developments, such as climate change or biodiversity, loss not only generate enormous pressure to adapt, but also offer opportunities.

This is because the implementation of the SDG Impact Standard in enterprises requires a closer look at value chains as well as the areas of product development and innovation. The SDGs thus offer numerous approaches to aligning oneself in a way that is entrepreneurially fit for the future.

The SDG Impact Standard for enterprises is a decision-making framework that provides guidance to measure and manage the impact of their business on the SDGs. It is designed to help companies and organizations integrate responsible and sustainable business practices, positive contributions to sustainable development, and the SDGs into organizational management systems and decision-making practices.

However, small and medium sized businesses often do not have the resources to strategically address their contribution to sustainable development. As a consultant, I support my clients to pragmatically address legislative and market requirements and efficiently integrate them into their business operations.

By creating an internal impact management system, organizations that adopt the SDG Impact Standards are able to meet the sustainability reporting and disclosure requirements of governments, regulators, investors and other stakeholders.
