NGOs Leading the Way on Sustainable Development Goals

At the United Nations Sustainable Development Summit on September 25, 2015, world leaders adopted a set of 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) to end poverty, fight inequality and injustice, and tackle climate change by 2030.

One key way to scale corporate social and environmental programs and implement the SDGs is to partner with organizations that are already building traction and strong foundations in reaching the goals. To help the Sustainable Brands community build the strongest and most effective partners, we’ve compiled a list of NGOs that are each focused on the 17 SDGs. This collection lists each of the 17 SDGs and several corresponding NGOs that focus on each of the goals.
