    Tackling Inequality

    Today, WBCSD perceives inequality, together with the climate emergency and nature loss, to be one of the three most pressing challenges facing our society globally. Our work in this area explores drivers and solutions to inequality, catalyzing business action towards the realization of a world in which everyone’s dignity and rights are respected, basic needs are met, and equal opportunities are available for all.

However, the challenges that characterize this agenda are more than matched by the scale of the opportunity that they represent for business to engage more deeply as a strong and positive influence on society. We assist companies in understanding the implications of the SDGs and integrating them into their strategies.
