NCAB Group Finland joining a virtual Business 2030 event

In 2015 the UN General Assembly formally accepted a new set of 17 measurable Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) ranging from ending world poverty to achieving gender equality and empowering women and girls by 2030.

For the goals to be reached, everyone needs to do their part: governments, the private sector, civil society and people like you. Therefore FIBS – Finland’s leading corporate responsibility network is hosting a virtual Business 2030 – bulletin board, where people from different companies, non-governmental organizations, universities, research institutes etc can share and receive knowledge, experiences and different kind of business opportunities regarding these sustainability goals.

This virtual event is available for everyone for free of charge. Spoken language is Finnish but people can also start new conversation in English as well.
