Social Development Goals

Sustainably-minded consumers are changing buying behaviours.  Even as you read this page statistics indicate that over 250,000 consumers globally will have opened their wallet to buy sustainably sourced products and services

The Sustainable Challenge

In simple terms Corporate Social Development Goals is a method of governance, of accepting that, every business, whether large or small, must deliver accountability.  By this we mean the significance of environmental and social impact in communities, of those who rely on businesses for their employment and a fair wage, for consumers of sustainably sourced goods and services.
