The establishment in 2015 of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) has created a global consensus on the development framework for a better world. Engagement of the business community in this agenda is critical. Achieving the Global Goals and the goals of the Paris Agreement requires the business community from the large multinational corporations to the small and medium-sized enterprises to purposefully embed the Ten Principles of UN Global Compact in their operations, which is leading this movement by driving the ambition and laying out the roadmap for businesses to do their part in this global effort.   UN Global Compact Strategy, 2021-2023. As we look to the next decade, there is significant cause for concern about the future of our society and planet. Current trajectories suggest that the world is not on track to achieve the SDGs. Within the global business community, current targets and actions are insufficient: Even within the current participants of UN Global Compact, only 39 per cent of companies believe their targets are sufficiently ambitious and only 46 per cent are embedding SDGs into their core business.  There are only 10 years left to shift the world onto a 1.5°C trajectory, reduce global inequalities, and achieve the substance of the SDG agenda.   UN Global Compact Strategy, 2021-2023.
