How Can Your Business Prioritise Sustainability in 2021?

2020 was a year like no other for many around the world, especially for business owners. We had to adapt, react and adjust.

2021 comes with new promise — not necessarily because too much has changed just yet — but because we are more aware of what we can expect. The virus isn’t going to go away overnight, but at least we know roughly what we are in for.

2021 is also an exciting year for sustainability. January 1, 2021 marked the official third-way point of the timeframe for the 2030 Agenda, which lays out the United Nations’ 17 Global Goals for Sustainable Development and their associated 169 targets.
