Available tools to help you enhance your overall ESG performance
UN Sustainable Development Goals
The SDGs provide a comprehensive framework encompassing economic, social, and environmental dimensions, making them an ideal benchmarking tool for organizations across various sectors. By aligning their goals and initiatives with the SDGs, organizations can address a broad spectrum of sustainability challenges, especially those with a social impact focus. Each of the 17 SDGs is accompanied by specific targets and indicators, enabling organizations to set precise benchmarks for their sustainability performance.
There are many SDG tools available online, but we recommend the free ‘SDG Action Manager’ (housed under the ‘B Impact Assessment), which brings together B Lab's B Impact Assessment and the Ten Principles of the UN Global Compact to enable meaningful business action through dynamic Q&A self-assessments.
