The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, adopted by all United Nations Member States in 2015 (including Malaysia), provides a shared blueprint for peace and prosperity for people and the planet, now and into the future. At its heart are the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), which are the blueprint to achieve a better and more sustainable future for all. They address the global challenges we face, including poverty, inequality, climate change, environmental degradation, peace and justice.
By aligning your business strategy with the SDGs, you can turn global challenges and threats into business opportunities, and at the same time contribute to a better world. In recent years, MDEC has focused over 95% of all our activities on SDGs 4, 8, 9 and 10. Which of these SDGs are most material to your business:
