Every year, UN Global Impact honours the exceptional efforts of professionals who drive positive change by promoting the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and embodying the Ten Principles of the UN Global Compact. These individuals, known as SDG Pioneers, play a crucial role in inspiring action and demonstrating the power of business to create a sustainable future for all.

In 2024, UN Global Impact is pleased to recognise twelve SDG Pioneers from participating companies. These pioneers, regardless of their role, are setting ambitious targets for the SDGs, expanding their impact and championing a principles-based approach in their organisations.

Through a comprehensive selection process involving local and global rounds, UN Global Impact will identify individuals who exemplify dedication, innovation and leadership in advancing the SDGs.

Join UN Global Impact to celebrate these sustainability champions and learn how you can be part of the movement towards a more inclusive, equitable and sustainable world.
