September 25th marks the ninth anniversary of the adoption of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by 193 UN member states. The SDGs call for global collaboration between governments, businesses, and civil society to deliver a powerful vision for improving our world by 2030. Organizations around the world will raise the SDG flag to show their support for the SDGs 🌎 This photo—taken in front of the United Nations Headquarters in New York City—features Richard Pearl, Acting Executive Director of UN Global Compact Network USA, and our Network USA Board Members (from left to right): Jennifer Leitsch from EY, Brian Tippens from Cisco, Daniella Foster from Bayer (former Board Member), Ann Tracy from Colgate-Palmolive, Guly Sabahi from NDC Partnership, Michael Okoroafor, Ph.D. from McCormick & Company, Gayle Schueller, PhD from 3M, and David Hackett from Baker McKenzie. Leveraging our partnerships both at home and on the global level highlights SDG 17 (Partnerships for the Goals). This will be one of our main topics at our upcoming flagship event, SDG Summit USA. At this event, we will further dive into the practical #business actions and #partnerships that align with the SDGs within the American #privatesector.
