The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) lay out a clear vision for a sustainable future and will shape a new era for business. As part of our Making Global Goals Local Business campaign, each year the UN Global Compact celebrates a group of SDG Pioneers – business leaders who are doing an exceptional job of taking action to advance the Global Goals.

In 2016, at the launch of the first class of SDG Pioneers, over 600 submissions were received from 100 countries. The UN Global Compact selected ten SDG Pioneers from diverse regions of the world who were showcasing how business can be a force for good.

The search is now on for the 2017 class of SDG Pioneers! Submit your story by 26 May 2017 be considered an SDG Pioneer for 2017: https://www.unglobalcompact.org/sdgpioneers
