SDGs for SMEs 
Thursday July 16 12-1pm
sponsored by Make March Matter
Many of us have heard of the SDGs but what does that mean to me as a
small business owner? Many global players in the international economy
are referencing the SDGs in their corporate reporting, but how do
smaller companies fit in?
SMEs are the heart and soul of communities and make up more than of the
economy in most nations and without us – local entrepreneurs - we can’t
achieve the SDGs. The good news, according to a report by the Silicon
Valley Foundation (more on that in the workshop!), is most of us are
more aligned that we think.
Through this luncheon workshop we share ideas and gain insights on how
we can work with customers, clients and community networks and have a
social impact. By focusing on a few specific goals and indicators we
will leave the workshop with more than ideas but concrete steps we can
take in our daily lives.
NOTE: We will not have time to do a basic intro to the SDGs. Here
are a few links for those interested in some background information:
