Empowering businesses with sustainability knowledge. 

Support the Goals is an online platform sharing free and accessible sustainability education resources for businesses. 

Here, you can learn about net zero, biodiversity, diversity & inclusion, human rights, and sustainable procurement based on the UN SDGs.

“Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world.”

Nelson Mandela

And change is exactly what’s needed. For too long, sustainability has been an overcrowded and overcomplicated industry.

Too many businesses are scared to start their sustainability journeys, for fear of criticism or failure. 

This doesn’t drive change, it breeds stagnancy. And we can’t afford for that to happen.

 

What’s wrong with the world?

This isn’t everything, but it’s enough to make a point. The world is facing key challenges, and businesses need to step up to start solving them. It’s lucky that doing what’s right also helps retain employees, strengthen reputation, and reduce risk.

Causing a chain reaction

Did you know that 77% of suppliers are SMEs? *

If you’re a large corporation, you’ve likely got the right foundations in place to act sustainably.

It’s also likely you’ve reached the point where you need to get your suppliers on their journeys. 

Encouraging your suppliers to join Support the Goals is a simple solution to help them kickstart their sustainable transition. For you, it’s hassle-free and cost-free, so what’s the harm in sharing?

Size doesn’t matter

Did you know that SMEs represent 90% of businesses and more than 50% of employment worldwide? *

As an SME, it’s easy to question how your actions will make a difference. But it’s harder to imagine a world in which you don’t try.

Your business likely has less than ten employees so there are fewer people to get on board, and fewer people to prevent change.

Support the Goals shares where you should start, what you should focus on, and even what’s not relevant for you. Plus, starting your journey should be free, so there are no subscription fees or hidden costs.
