We are at a critical moment, and theworld must change course to put sustainable development back on track.The United Nations Global Compact-Accenture Global Private Sector Stocktakereport finds that while the private sector remains confident in the SDGs as a vision forthe future, it is losing confidence in our ability to achieve the SDGs in the remaining time.Despite strong, positive contributions to economic growth and job creation by theprivate sector, these impacts are countered by powerful detriments to climate,nature, water and waste - exacerbating net negative impacts on global health,poverty and hunger.Rescuing and accelerating progress on the SDGs will requireus to simultaneously expand the benefits of capitalism to more people, transformits basis to be more sustainable and scale up new incentive systems that shift ourfocus to the long-term balancing of risk, return and SDG impact.The UN Secretary-General has made a strong call for accelerated, accountableand credible business action in line with the SDGs. In this report, we propose 10pathways for businesses to take action on the 17 SDGs, recognizing the importanceof the private sector focusing its actions where it can have an outsized impact.This shift for our future is only possible if all stakeholders from the private,public and non-profit sectors work together more closely with a clear plan in mind.Business leaders are calling on stakeholders from the public sector and throughoutsupply chains to step up ambition and enable change through policy and partnerships.In compiling this report, we are grateful to many colleagues at the UN GlobalCompact, especially Sue Allchurch, Sean Cruse and Bo Yang. We also recognize theleadership of our Accenture collaborators, in particular Michael Hughes, Emilia Hull,Evin Hipple, Noah Spector and Daniel Shropshall, for their insights and contributions.Furthermore, this report is a testament to our partnership with the InternationalOrganization of Employers, International Chamber of Commerce, World BusinessCouncil for Sustainable Development and UN Department of Economic and SocialAffairs. The strength of our global partnership will be a critical determinant offuture success.Finally, on behalf of the UN Global Compact, we would like to express our profoundgratitude to the business leaders and other stakeholders who participated informing the findings of this report.We are moving ever closer to 2030, and the stakes are high. It is time for the privatesector to take bold, ambitious actions to move us forward faster.FOREWORD: UNITED NATIONSGLOBAL COMPACTUnited Nations Global Compact|Private Sector SDG Stocktake FOREWORD: ACCENTUREThe private sector is a critical stakeholder in achieving the SDGs – and, at thehalf-way point to delivering them, business leaders want to rise to the occasion.Businesses contribute to all 17 SDGs and their actions will be key to meeting– or missing - the goals by 2030. However, most private sector contributions todayare not properly measured, and as result the business community struggles tounderstand, report, and manage their impact on the SDGs.But this is changing. Just five years ago, using multiple large data sets to answerthe key question of the private sector’s impact on the SDGs would have beenimpossible. Today, with advances in technology and data analytics, we are ableto explore new ways of measuring the SDG impact of thousands of individualcompanies in consistent ways, and explore this relationship with ESG reporting.This unlocks exciting possibilities. This report is a good example of what can beachieved, on how these new tools can be used to get a better understanding aboutthe strongest contributions and also negative impacts companies are driving. It isalso a tool to articulate plans like the 10 key pathways developed in the report toaccelerate the ambitious action needed of the private sector.We would like to thank the three
