While leading businesses have long been engaged in efforts to integrate sustainability at the core of corporate strategy and decision-making, the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) provide us with a new lens through which to translate global needs and ambitions into business solutions. These solutions will enable companies to better manage their risks, anticipate consumer demand, harness the potential of historic growth markets, secure access to needed resources and strengthen their supply chains, while moving the world towards the delivery of the SDGs and a more prosperous society for all. While business is not being asked to deliver the SDGs by itself, this complex and urgent agenda will not be realized without involvement at scale by the private sector. Converting the SDGs into meaningful and widespread corporate engagement, and ushering in the inclusive and sustainable economic growth that the Goals represent, will be a sizeable challenge. Forward-looking businesses are already working towards having a meaningful impact on the SDGs - in particular by: developing a thorough understanding of how their activities translate into economic, environmental and social impacts in the context of the SDGs; setting ambitious goals to implement the SDGs, including by incorporating responsible business practices across strategies and operations; pursuing impactful contributions to the 2030 Agenda through a strong commitment to universal principles in relation to human rights, equality and the environment; developing business solutions to address sustainability challenges; collaborating with peers to develop a collective vision and roadmaps to realize substantial sector transformation; working across sectors to help transform entire economic systems; disclosing SDG performance and progress; openly advocating for key policy and finance enablers that will help achieve a tipping point.

- WBCSD The World Business Council for Sustainable Development (WBCSD) is a global, CEO-led organization of around 200 forward-thinking businesses working together to accelerate the transition to a sustainable world.

- $1.90/day baseline This interactive treemap below illustrates how the number and distribution of people living in extreme poverty has changed between 1990 and 2013. The reduction in the number of poor in East Asia and Pacific is dramatic Despite the decline in the Sub-Saharan Africa’s extreme poverty rate to 41 percent in 2013, the region’s population growth means that 389 million people lived on less than $1.90/day in 2013 - 113 million more than in 1990
- The UN has gifted the SDGs to the world as a framework that can put the world on a sustainable path
- SDGs are not a business as usual agenda. SDGs are Transformational (beyond incrementalism) Ambitious Interconnected Universal
- Stating a clear vision of where the sector aspires to be and what the sector aims to achieve in relation to the SDGs by 2030 and beyond. This should be ambitious yet realistic. It should be informed by the sector’s current position and its level of ambition to contribute to the SDGs, and reached via consensus with stakeholders. The vision should consider industry dynamics, sector and company maturity in terms of sustainability, value chain characteristics, and geographic scope and scale. Demonstrating how the sector interacts with the wider SDG agenda and which of the SDGs it can impact the most. Identifying key impact opportunities where, by working together, the companies involved can have the most significant impact on realizing achieving the SDGs while unlocking business value. Exploring actions that organizations within the sector can begin to take to move towards advancing these opportunities and make sure potential value is achieved. Understanding common barriers and identifying impact accelerators within the sector and across its value chain. Engaging with key stakeholders across the sector’s value chain. A roadmap provides a strategic plan that translates a vision into actionable goals and activities. An SDG sector roadmap enables leading companies to collaborate and articulate a common approach for how their industry can maximize its potential to contribute to the realization ofachieving the critical SDG agenda through business solutions. This in turn will help the sector to collectively strengthen its license to operate, manage operational and regulatory risks, and open up new growth markets. Individual companies can then also leverage the roadmap to focus their own strategic approach to the SDGs and make informed decisions as to where they can have the greatest impact on the SDG goals and targets that are a priority for their sector. This document is designed to inspire sectors to develop their own roadmaps for identifying the common solutions, opportunities and partnerships needed to help achieve realize the SDGs. A sector roadmap could be initiated by an industry association or a group of companies with a common interest. It is essential that any sector roadmap have sufficient representation from a broad and inclusive list of companies that are part of the sector as defined by the roadmap. The audience for each roadmap produced may differ slightly from sector to sector, but fundamentally the work should be aimed first and foremost at providing practical guidance and inspiration to the sector itself. However, roadmaps will also be a useful reference point for wider stakeholders such as policymakers, investors and civil society who seek to deepen their understanding of the potential of particular sectors to contribute to the SDG agenda and the maturity of their efforts.
