INNOVATIVEPRACTICES AWARDS

“Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)”

The PlatformThe United Nations’ 2030 Agenda for Sustainable

Development recognizes that ending poverty, hunger and

social injustice must go together with strategies that build

economic growth and addresses a range of social needs

including education, health, social protection, and job

opportunit ies, while tackling cl imate change and

environmental protection. Although the implementation and

success of these goals will rely largely on each country’s own

sustainable development policies and plans, the private

sector has an important role to play in achieving the desired

outcomes. The awards shall be presented at the GCNI flagship

event ‘National Convention(NC)’ held every year. This year the stNC is to be held on 31 May 2019, another powerful platform to

showcase best examples from organizations across Public

their business agenda and unlock value in terms of revenue

growth, cost reduction, brand building or risk mitigation. The

Competition, through case studies, will also highlight critical

success factors that helped leading organizations implement

SDGs efficiently. In order to invite nominations for a ‘Case

Study Competition’, that would serve as a unique platform for
