SDG Observatory
The SDG Observatory is an alliance committed to the 2030 Agenda and analyzes the contribution of Spanish companies to sustainable development.
The initiative, promoted by Esade and the "la Caixa" Banking Foundation since 2016, analyzes progress on the 2030 Agenda and the SDGs using a large and representative group of Spanish companies. At the same time, the Observatory promotes synergies between companies and encourages discussion on the role of companies in achieving the SDGs.
The Observatory has an advisory board and is also advised by a group of IBEX 35 companies, and a group of SMEs from various sectors. This experience of collaboration between academia and business deepens our SDG knowledge, transfers it to leader training areas, and analyses implementation in the business sphere.
Main goals
- Improved understanding and conceptualization of the private sector role in the achievement of the SDGs.
- Comprehensive observation of SDG fulfilment by a large and representative group of Spanish companies.
