The SDG Business Breakdown: Sales & Marketing
2023-04-06 13:00 - 14:00 (America/New_York) | Virtual Event
To efficiently contribute to the creation of a more prosperous planet, sustainability needs to be embedded in a company’s DNA. This can be a challenging task, especially for departments that do not directly work on sustainability issues.
The UN Global Compact Network USA will host The Business Breakdown of the SDGs webinar series to provide companies with the opportunity to integrate the SDGs into each core function of their business. This series aims to help non-sustainability professionals integrate the Sustainable Development Goals into their day-to-day work. By ‘breaking down’ a business by function in each webinar, the series is designed to provide department-specific insight, knowledge, and inspiration needed to make a positive impact on the company’s SDG strategy.
This session will provide Sales & Marketing professionals with the insight, tools, and actions to integrate the SDGs into their work. The webinar will feature Sales & Marketing expert, Randi Kronthal-Sacco of NYU Stern Center for Sustainable Business.
Randi Kronthal-Sacco (Stern ‘83) is a Senior Scholar at the NYU Stern Center for Sustainable Business. Ms. Kronthal-Sacco leads CSB’s research in the areas of marketing and brands including the Sustainable Market Share Index and is responsible for corporate outreach.

2023 SDG Global Business Forum
2023-07-18 08:30 - 12:00 | Virtual Event
Turbocharging the 2030 Agenda with business impact
As we approach the halfway mark to the implementation of the 2030 Agenda, the world has been confronted with a complex web of interconnected crises that have put the achievement of the 2030 Agenda at serious risk. What needs to change to get back on track to achieve the 2030 Agenda? Who needs to play a more prominent role? How do we ensure a just and fair transition to net zero? What immediate action can companies, governments, business organizations and civil society take to move the needle on the 2030 Agenda?
This year’s 2023 SDG Global Business Forum, taking place alongside important policy debates at the ministerial segment of the 2023 High-Level Political Forum on Sustainable Development (HLPF), will welcome a global community of movers and shakers, problem solvers and innovators to debate these questions, discuss priorities, build alliances and co-create high-impact business solutions to turbocharge the SDGs in the remaining seven years before 2030.
In-person registration is now closed. Those with a valid UN grounds pass or stakeholders already registered to attend the 2023 HLPF can attend in person.
An engaging virtual hour–long session is open and the remaining sessions will be available to view
on UN Web TV.
