Sustainable Development Goals
We support the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals program
Our consultancy supports the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals program. There are 17 goals in total, aimed to end extreme poverty, reduce inequality, and protect the planet by 2030.
‘An urgent call for action by all countries - developed and developing - in a global partnership. They recognize that ending poverty and other deprivations must go hand-in-hand with strategies that improve health and education, reduce inequality, and spur economic growth – all while tackling climate change and working to preserve our oceans and forests’. -UN
The SDGs are a ‘blueprint to achieve a better and more sustainable future for all’ - UN
“International commitments, for instance towards climate neutrality, must be rapidly accompanied by transformative actions and investments”- SDG Report 2021
It is up to government, the business community and consumers in Australia to make the difference.
As a member of an organisation or a member of the general public (yes, sometimes you are both!) you have the right to ask brand owners for transparency about their products and ‘end of life’ strategies.
It’s not a blame game nor is it expecting any one organisation to have the sustainable ‘magic wand’.
If you specify a product, if you purchase a product, you have the power to change the world one selection, one purchase at a time.
In a post- COVID world, it is time to reimagine what is possible. And then act on it, with care and purpose.

Change has started.
The Australian government’s commitment to a 43% emissions reduction by 2030 and net-zero by 2050 has made ESG reporting mandatory for many large organisations, with Scope 1 and 2 emissions at the forefront.
Increasingly, large companies are also reporting on Scope 3 emissions to stay ahead of regulatory changes. As suppliers to these organisations, many businesses will need to provide their own emissions documentation within the next two years. The shift is clear: ESG practices are reshaping business models, and transparency is now a critical industry expectation. Yet, despite these efforts, we are not currently on track to meet the national targets.
