GRI championed the inclusion of a strong private sector role in the SDGs, as seen in Target 12.6.
Throughout the development process of the Sustainable Development Goals, GRI has worked in collaboration with the UN and other international organizations to champion the inclusion of a strong private sector role in the SDGs. SDGs Target 12.6 encourages companies to adopt sustainable practices and to integrate sustainability information into their reporting cycles.
By acknowledging that significant private sector action is needed to foster sustainable development, the SDGs leap forward from the Millennium Development Goals, which they now replace. Going forward, GRI will continue engaging with national and regional governments, as well as international authorities, to enable smart policy in furtherance of the SDGs.
