UN SDG Corporate Guidebook Series Project: The United Nations 2030 Agenda to create a WORLD WE ALL WANT cannot be achieved solely through efforts of government agencies, NGOs and other nonprofits. The challenge for corporate engagement in the goals has been the broad scope of 17 SDGs with 169 underlying targets. We address this challenge by guiding the reader in focusing on SDG Targets. With a global team of industry expert co-authors and researchers, our mission is to contribute to the UN 2030 Agenda by engaging and guiding the private sector. By end of 2021 SHERPA Institute plans to have completed 17 hardbound books – one per SDG - featuring real-world case studies that are replicable, relatable and scalable. Corporations will gain clear guidance for integrating the UN SDGs into their strategies and operations. We seek to guide businesses in generating new business opportunities, gaining competitive advantages, and increasing resilience, by implementing solutions to the challenges identified in the UN 2030 Agenda. The UN SDG8 Corporate Guidebook is focused on Full Employment, Decent Work, and Driving Sustainable Economic Growth. SHERPA Institute is a global non-profit team, guiding individuals, communities and organizations in creating cultures of continual improvement for social responsibility, to achieve their sustainable & regenerative development goals.
