The UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) have been helping many organisations including nonprofits, businesses and government agencies to make measurable improvements in solving society’s pressing problems by 2030. Achieving sustainable development in the social sphere is one among the other two dimensions, including environmental and economic, in which the SDGs are Committed. This Knowledge Report highlights the developmental issues being addressed by the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) across the globe, including social issues taken up by different organizations, and the implementation and work of the SDGs.

The report described how CSR initiatives in India support social issues and ultimately the SDG agendas. It shows how SDG 1, SDG 2, SDG 3, SDG 4, SDG 5, SDG 8 are supported by the Indian CSR Initiatives.

What was the methodology adopted for preparing this report?

An online survey on “Social Impact of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)” was conducted by Indian Chamber of Commerce (ICC) and Consultivo. Professionals representing NGOs, Foundations, Corporate CSR, Implementing Bodies and other areas were invited via email to participate in the online survey.

The objective of the survey was to gather relevant insights into the social and CSR activities undertaken by Indian companies in line with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The insights from the survey have been analysed and highlighted throughout the report.
