 Introduction - Shelby
UN has 17 goals to be completed by 2030

Goals that affect International Business

Quality Education
Peace, Justice and Strong Institution
Work and Economic Growth
Industry, Innovation, and Infrastructure
Sustainable Communities and Cities
Partnership for the Goals
 The global market relies heavily on

economic growth.

The management of financial and

Quality capital resources that global business

Education relies on can be influenced by the

quality of education being provided in

Goal 4: Ensure inclusive and equitable
quality education and promote lifelong that particular country
learning opportunities for all.
A society with an increase in education

can result in better innovation and

productivity within companies

dependent on international business.

 Peace,
Justice, and
Strong
Institutions
Goal 16: Promote peaceful and inclusive
societies for sustainable development,
provide access to justice for all and build
effective, accountable and inclusive
institutions at all levels.
Building and maintaining strong
institutions is important for international
businesses to properly function and
provide a global impact.
Transforming bad relations and working
towards solutions can bring together
diverse sectors of business and civilians
occupying countries in conflict.
 Goal 8 Decent Work & Economic Growth
Goal To promote inclusive and sustainable economic growth, employment
and decent work for all
Why Poverty eradication is only possible through stable and well-paid jobs.
Nearly 2.2 billion people live below the US$2 poverty line
Problem According to the International Labour Organization (ILO), more
than 204 million people are unemployed as of 2015. We also need to improve
conditions for the some 780 million women and men who are working, but not
earning enough to lift themselves and their families out of poverty
How can we help?
Goal 9 Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure
Goal To build resilient infrastructure, promote inclusive and sustainable
industrialization and foster innovation
Why Economic growth, social development and climate action are heavily
dependent on investments in infrastructure, sustainable industrial
development and technological progress
Problem Basic infrastructure and commodities remain scarce in many
developing countries
How can we help?
Goal 11 - Sustainable Cities and Communities
~As the world population grows, urban and rural areas must work together to
create a livable area for all citizens
~Sustainable cities and communities can be achieved but through the other
goals
~ Ensure availability and sustainable management of water and sanitation for
all. (Goal 6)
~Ensure access to affordable, reliable, sustainable and modern energy for all
(Goal 7)
~Ensure sustainable consumption and production patterns. (Goal 12)
 Goal 17 - Partnership for the Goals
~The United Nations realize that in order for them to complete their agenda for
these 17 goals, it will require the attention and partnership between
governments, private companies, and even civil society.
~Within this goal, they have certain checkpoints that they want to address by
2030 and the ones most relevant to an international business standpoint are:
mobilizing financial resources for developing countries from several donors;
promoting technology to developing countries; and increasing the level of
exports from developing countries.
