The Role of Technology in Achieving SDGs!

I recently read an interesting article on the major role that technological innovation is expected to play in achieving SDGs and wanted to share it with you! This article highlighted the fact that innovation and technology are the major forces that will accelerate the progress on SDGs. Many stakeholders have to play a role to help achieve these goals. Recently major multinational companies such as Apple, Microsoft, and Google have altered their business strategies to have a larger focus on sustainability. This can be done in many ways such as adopting Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) criteria while formulating any policies for the company. Various organizations, such as Non-Governmental Organisations (NGOs), have focused on raising awareness of sustainable development amongst the population. Many companies are also working on technologies that can help address issues such as inequality, limited access to healthcare and clean water, and a decline in the population of animals due to environmental degradation.

This adoption of sustainable practices also has a variety of benefits that affect a variety of areas. Engaging in sustainable practices can help reduce environmental risk, one of the biggest risks for companies, in today's day and age. This can also help companies build stronger partnerships and allow them to reach out to more environment-conscious consumers and companies.
