Making Global Goals Local Business – India, a World Conference of the UN Global Compact

Over 300 leaders from business and civil society discuss the business opportunities for sustainable development on a global level through the Goals of the UN (SDGs). The two-day forum of the UN Global Compact “Making Global Goals Local Business – India” that starts today, 26.04.2017 in New Delhi, is focused on the innovations that will create new business opportunities.

To enable business to take actions on SDGs, the UN Global Compact initiates two initiatives in the first day of the event: Global Opportunity Explorer and Blueprint for SDG Leadership.

Global Opportunity Explorer is the largest digital platform in the world for connecting business leaders, entrepreneurs and investors with new partners, projects, markets and talents to achieve SDGs. Blueprint for SDG Leadership is a form of management for the business on how to take specific actions for each of the UN Goals.

The program for tomorrow includes outlining the innovations and system solutions required for achieving the global goals until 2030. Business and Sustainable Development Commission will announce its report for India “Better Business – Better World” that reviews the methods by which the work on SDG will result in growth of the private sector in India.

The Bulgarian Network of the UN Global Compact, in which Sopharma AD is a member since 2004, is represented at the forum by its CEO Darinka Georgieva.
