About the SDG Impact Standards
Businesses and investors are increasingly seeking opportunities to make positive contributions towards sustainable development and achieving the SDGs by 2030 – and are looking for guidance to help translate their intent to action. The SDG Impact Standards have been designed to meet that need.
The SDG Impact Standards are a set of practices that organizations can apply to help build a more sustainable, inclusive and resilient world. The Standards provide a common language and best-practice guidance for integrating impact management into business and investment practices and decision-making with an eye towards positive and negative effects on people and the planet. Grounded in existing high-level principles, the Standards provide context for applying other tools and frameworks, including metrics, taxonomies and reporting frameworks.
Everyone is invited to use the Standards; they are a voluntary and freely available public good.About the Standards for Enterprises
The Standards are for Enterprises committed to contributing positively to sustainable development and towards achieving the SDGs. All Enterprises – irrespective of size, geography, or sector – can use the Standards. This includes publicly listed enterprises, public-interest and private entities (both for-profit or not-for-profit), non-governmental organizations (NGOs), small and medium enterprises (SMEs), and state-owned or other public-sector entities.
