It spotlights six actions that business leaders can take to transform businesses and markets in line with the UN Sustainable Develoment Goals (SGDs), including working with policymakers to ensure that the true costs of natural and human resources are reflected in the price of goods and services and pushing for a financial system that is oriented towards longer-term sustainable investment; lists the 60 fastest-growing sustainable market opportunities; outlines how to renew the social contract between workers, society and businesses in this new context, and more.
