This book explores the symbiotic relationship between the global business landscape and the United Nations' 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) set out in 2015. Highlighting the world's paramount challenges, from climate change to gender equality, it emphasizes our collective stride towards sustainability. The narrative is structured around 17 in-depth case studies that span a plethora of industries, from food and finance to energy and transportation, each exploring an individual SDG. These studies provide a window into how trailblazing companies are intricately embedding the SDGs into their operational blueprints. This volume will be a valuable guide to sustainable business models and practices, fostering a clarion call for students, practitioners, and policymakers to rally towards a greener, brighter future.
