UN Sustainable Development Goals
The Banksia Awards are deeply rooted in the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), a comprehensive framework designed to address the world’s most pressing social, economic, and environmental challenges. For businesses, embracing the SDGs can bring numerous benefits, providing a strategic lens to assess and align operations, products, and services with sustainable practices.
Not sure where to start? Banksia’s partner, SDG Align, provides a free self-assessment tool that evaluates your organisation’s current sustainability practices. Based on the results of the self-assessment, businesses can access prioritised ‘opportunities for improvement cards’ with microlearning content to learn more about the SDGs and how to make meaningful change.
