- Anthony Abbots, Director Group Sustainability, ROCKWOOL Group
Mission
Companies and financial institutions are increasingly interested in understanding more holistic benefits – positive impacts – of their business. Over 9,000 companies have pledged to support the SDGs, yet devised as policy measures for governments rather than private sector opportunities, a lack of targets and measureable, consistent disclosures limits the development of SDG investment strategies. SDG-related market opportunities are forecast to be worth at least $12 trillion a year in revenue and savings by 2030. This session will discuss the world’s first science-based SDG Framework for corporate companies by Trucost. Rockwool, a leader in SDGs and inaugural pilot companies of the SDG Framework will advise on actual business relevance of the SDGs and how implementing the SDGs in this way has benefited business.
