Major companies including Coca-Cola, Diageo, Google, Mars, Mastercard, Microsoft, Nike and Unilever are partnering to promote business action on the United Nations’ (UN) 2015 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), which are due to be delivered in 2030. Mars, for example, will be promoting SDG1 for zero poverty, while drinks giant Diageo will promote SDG6 for clean water and sanitation, and Google will promote SDG8 for decent work and economic growth. The UN has set a target of reducing greenhouse gas emissions by at least 80% from 1990 levels by 2050. In June, a UN progress report concluded that not one country is on track to meet the goals, which include targets to end extreme poverty, provide clean, affordable energy, achieve gender equality and tackle climate change.
