The Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) launched a new podcast – The SDG Insider – focusing on business contributions towards ending poverty and protecting the planet, but also helping companies navigate the existing overlaps between the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

The series provides a clear link between corporate reporting and the global sustainability agenda, with insights from experts from both the private and public sectors.

“Achieving the SDGs is a collective responsibility for the entire global community and a challenge that cannot be met without buy-in and collaboration involving the private sector. Our new podcast series will look beyond the theory, with practical insights and actions on how companies can help accelerate progress for the Global Goals and the role of transparency in unlocking benefits for all,” said Peter Paul van de Wijs, GRI Chief of Policy.

The SDG Insider can be accessed on Spotify, Apple podcast, and Google podcast.

The series will include six episodes on topics ranging from climate change to agriculture and food to tax. All 18 episodes of the earlier GRI podcast series on the topic – SDGs: The Rising Tide – are also available on all major podcast platforms.

GRI would like to thank the Government of Sweden for supporting this project through the Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency (Sida).

GRI provides a range of freely accessible resources and tools to help companies understand and report their contribution to the SDGs.
