The Global SDG Awards is the world’s first international, private sector focused sustainability competition based on the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) framework. Our unique judging methodology was developed to increase private sector engagement with SDGs through competition. The Global SDG Awards was created to act as a catalyst for positive change. By turning sustainability into a competitive race to the top, the awards will increase the rate of SDG adoption, foster the inclusion of new reporting metrics based on SDG indicators and create a platform to recognize outstanding corporate efforts. The Global SDG Awards are open to any company or social enterprise that includes the SDGs in their annual sustainability report, integrated report or corporate responsibility communications. The awards will be evaluated by teams of expert judges working in the private sector.
