The UN Global Compact SDG Pioneers Program 2023 is now accepting applications. Every year, the UN Global Compact honors a group of SDG Pioneers – business leaders at any level who are leveraging business as a force for good to promote the 17 SDGs.
They contribute to commercial success while simultaneously assisting to achieve one or more of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) through their own company or by mobilizing other enterprises. Local Networks across all continents will organize country-level SDG Pioneers campaigns in 2023 to discover Local Pioneers who will then be competitors for the Global Round, which will be acknowledged at the 2023 UN Global Compact Leaders Summit.
