About this Event
EDGE is pleased to host a session by S.S. Ahmad and Jaipaul Massey-Singh who will share insights on how to integrate UN SDGs within your social enterprise. Introduced by the United Nations in 2015, the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are 17 Global Goals that address global challenges such as poverty, inequality, consumption and production and climate change.
In this two-part webinar series, you will learn about:
Part 1 (June 3) – the UN SDGs framework, how to map and localize SDGs to your startup or social enterprise and approaches for measuring impact.
Part 2 (June 11) – practices for working with boards, other partners and funders to implement SDGs and considerations for post-COVID resilient and inclusive recovery.
We hope to keep the sessions interactive so bring your ideas and questions.
PLEASE NOTE: You are encouraged to attend both webinars for a robust exploration of practices and strategies. You will need to register for each date separately.
This session is open to:
