摘要

Being aware of their vast and important role in society, the business world must be more involved than ever and should be a solution in realizing Sustainable Development Business (SDGs)," said Managing Director, President Office, Sinar Mas, GandiSulistiyanto, at the opening of Indonesia Global Compact Forum (IGCN) 2017 held at Plaza Simas, Jakarta, this morning, October 17, 2017.By 2050, the human population is projected to reach 9 billion. This certainly raises the question of how to meet the needs of human food later. Moreover, the main problems facing the global economy today include poverty, access to affordable health care, clean drinking water, inequality, unemployment and climate change. In response to this condition, the United Nations Global Compact promotes awareness and commitment of the business world in support of the realization of the Sustainable Development Goals by 2030. This action is done through the alignment of business strategies and operations in accordance with the universal principles of human rights, labor, environment and anti-corruption, and take actions that advance the goals of society. Although aware that the business world must play a big role in every process, furthermore, Sulistiyanto said that Achievement of Sustainable Development Objectives can not be done alone. All parties must be involved, shoulder to shoulder and ensure that nothing is left behind Indonesia Global Compact Network (IGCN) Forum 2017 is a platform that provides stakeholders the opportunity to gain a variety of perspectives from UN Global Compact members in various sectors on how they implement responsible practices and develop innovative solutions to support the achievement of Sustainable Development Objectives.
